Bronson Reed breaks character after WWE announces he will be out indefinitely; sends an emotional message about injury during SmackDown

Bronson Reed has broken character in an emotionally vulnerable post. The star has been ruled out of action indefinitely thanks to his injury.

Reed may have won the hearts and minds of fans as a convincing heel, but he will be out of action for quite some time, after breaking his foot following a rough landing at Survivor Series. He jumped off the top of the cage, and unfortunately broke his foot on the landing.

Bronson Reed spoke about the injury finally, instead of just sending messages about his return. He was clearly vulnerable and said that the pain of such an injury and the fact that he was out indefinitely could eat anyone alive if they allowed it to. He was implying that he would not allow it to happen to him.

"Sh** like this, the pain of it, you gotta be careful 'cause it'll eat you alive if you let it."

The star is now out until he can heal enough to return. As per reports, he will be going through surgery to recover from the injury, but there are no details on when he could return to the ring.

This coming in the middle of his biggest push in WWE so far cannot be easy, but the star has already established himself in front of the fans and that may be enough to keep him going when he's back.
