WWE has been taking its entertainment extravaganza on the road, organizing Premium Live Events (PLE) in various countries. This initiative aims to bring the thrill of WWE to its global fan base, allowing them to experience the excitement of these shows in their own country. Additionally, it provides WWE superstars with the unique opportunity to perform in front of their home crowd, adding a personal touch to the experience. However, this process doesn’t always go smoothly, as in the case of Bronson Reed, who won’t be able to attend the PLE in his home country.

Wrestling Humble X, potentially provided insight into Bronson Reed’s absence from the PLE in his hometown. When a user questioned why Reed was missing the event even in his hometown, the Wrestling Humble X account reposted the query and responded, suggesting that Reed’s wife is pregnant and due soon, speculating that this could be the reason for his absence.

The WWE is set to organize the Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia. This raised expectations for Bronson Reed, given his Australian roots. However, in a qualifying match against Bobby Lashley for the Elimination Chamber, Reed lost. This result meant that he missed out on the opportunity to feature in the event.

With Bronson Reed’s absence from the Premium Live Event, the responsibility now falls on Rhea Ripley’s shoulders to carry the show as the hometown superstar. She is set to defend her Women’s World Title against Nia Jax, who also has a connection with Australia, having spent some of her childhood there. Additionally, Grayson Waller will host his “Grayson Waller Effect” in Australia, with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins as guests.
