Bronson Reed and wife welcome their first child

Bronson Reed, who is Australian but missed the Elimination Chamber yesterday, wrote on his social media that he is now a proud father.

“Originally, I was set to be at #WWEChamber. It would have been an incredible moment. Unfortunately, plans changed,” Reed wrote.

Then came the good news.

“But everything happens for a reason. My wife and I have had our baby early, I was supposed to miss the PLE to make sure I’m here for my family,” he added.

Reed was set to take on Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight title according to a report by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful but those plans were derailed after Rollins suffered his knee injury.

“Thank you for all your support. To all my friends and family who have reached out. To @TripleH for guiding me. Now I’m not just BIG … I AM BIG, POPPA!”

Triple H, who is a big supporter of Reed, replied, saying, “Family is everything and fatherhood is amazing. I am proud of you for not only your work, but for the journey you’re now embarking on. Enjoy every moment. You’re exactly where you needed to be!”
