With Elimination Chamber being held in Australia, the event includes big moments for some hometown stars.

Rhea Ripley will have one of the highlights of her career as she defends the Women's World Championship against Nia Jax in her home country. Grayson Waller is hosting a Grayson Waller Effect segment with Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins. And Indi Hartwell was involved in a Women's Tag Team title match on the pre-show.

But Bronson Reed is one Australian wrestler not featured. Reed was left off the card after losing an Elimination Chamber qualifying match to Bobby Lashley.

In a social media post during Saturday's event, Reed explained that he was originally supposed to be on Elimination Chamber, but plans changed. Reed revealed that his wife has given birth to their first child:

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.

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!

Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Lashley, LA Knight, Kevin Owens, and Logan Paul are the competitors in Saturday's men's Elimination Chamber match. The winner receives a World Heavyweight Championship shot against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
