The final Premium Live Event before WrestleMania 42 is this Saturday from Chicago, and the WWE was forced to change one of its main events of the show on Monday night following a serious injury to one of its stars.

While the main event of night two of "WrestleMania" in Las Vegas has been booked as CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns, Saturday's finale is still up in the air, with Drew McIntyre holding the WWE Undisputed Championship most likely into the biggest show of the year.

The match to determine who will face McIntyre at 'Mania is an "Elimination Chamber" match involving LA Knight, Cody Rhodes, Je'Von Evans, Trick Williams, Randy Orton, and Jey Uso.

Per "WrestleVotes" with Fightful, Bronson Reed was supposed to be fighting in the Elimination Chamber, but the WWE staff needed to pull an audible following Reed's injury within the triple threat.

While breaking up a pin, Reed suffered a shoulder injury, which forced him to be taken out of the match and rewritten on the fly.

Reed, a part of The Vision faction, is just another member of the supergroup to suffer an injury before "WrestleMania."

Seth Rollins, the leader of the group, was forced out of action months ago due to an injury he suffered in a match with Cody Rhodes in Australia. And most recently, Bron Breakker was sidelined following a freak accident involving him moving a table on the outside of the ring.

There's no timeline for Reed's return at the time of the writing of this article.
