superstar Bronson Reed has revealed his wife has given birth to their first child.
The Aussie heavyweight was initially hoping to be part of and while he was initially gutted when ‘plans changed’, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
An hour into the show, he wrote on X: ‘FULL DISCLOSURE:
‘Originally, I was set to be at #WWEChamber    It would have been an incredible moment. Unfortunately, plans changed. 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.’
The former NXT North American Champion, 35, thanked everyone to being there for him, and singled out boss Paul ‘Triple H’ for guidance.
He added: ‘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 took time out during Elimination Chamber to congratulate the star, and reiterated that he was in the right place being with his family.
He wrote: ‘Congratulations @BRONSONISHERE. 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!’
