Bronson Reed Articles - Page 2

When Bronson Reed was released from WWE during the Covid-19 pandemic, he had a decision to make about his future. Would he sign a long-term deal with a domestic promotion like AEW or Impact in order to rebuild his stock and establish his abilities in long-term storylines? Or would he embrace becoming an independent mercenary […]

When news broke that WWE was going to bring back Halloween Havoc for not one but two weeks of television, fans had a pretty good feeling that Shotzi, the “Ballsy Bada**” and noted Halloween aficionado, was going to make her triumphant return to the Performance Center in Orlando to host the event like Jim Bob […]

After securing a roll-up victory on Bronson Reed in the middle of RAW, Tommaso Ciampa was feeling good. Sure, he’s not quite where he wants to be just yet, as this marked his first televised win since all the way back in June, but as Byron Saxton reminded the “Blackheart” on RAW TALK, it must […]

Though Shinsuke Nakamura is currently the next man up to wrestle Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, there is a small army of performers who are lining up to call next on the “Visionary,” with everyone from Tommaso Ciampa to Bronson Reed, Ricochet, and even Akira Tozawa, fresh off a win over The […]

“Big” Bronson Reed has been on a tear since returning to the WWE Universe, winning five of his last six matches and pretty much plowing through any opponent who gets in his way with his signature maneuver, the Tsunami, a finisher that is incredibly protected for seven months and counting. Though he remains stuck in […]

After finding a near-immediate niche as a “Mizion” alongside the “A-List” on Monday Night RAW, Tommaso Ciampa has rapidly found himself an island unto himself in the WWE Universe. His relationship with The Miz? Gone, Ciampa turned on him as soon as he was cleared to wrestle and started a war the star of Miz […]

After coming up short in every single match he’s wrestled on WWE television in 2023, The Miz finally landed in the winner’s column on Monday Night RAW when he secured a pinfall victory over Tommaso Ciampa with a little help from Bronson Reed, who was technically allowed to help out in the no-disqualifications match. Stopping […]

After missing out on taking part in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, Bronson Reed could have pouted, throwing a fit in the locker room or going on a rampage through the backstage area of RAW to rip through the likes of Akira Tozawa as revenge, fortunately for the security staff in Baltimore, Maryland, […]

Though he’s technically been qualified for a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match for a while now, securing the W over The Miz all the way back on May 29th, Ricochet picked up some clear momentum on RAW by pinning rival Shinsuke Nakamura – and delivering some choice blows to Bronson Reed […]

While Bronson Reed still hasn’t qualified for a match at Money in the Bank, with Logan Paul nominating himself for the last spot in the Ladder match despite somehow avoiding a qualifying match of his own, that hasn’t stopped the New Zeland-born Superstar from pretty much running the table every time he gets in a […]

Bronson Reed may not be the tallest man on the WWE roster, the heaviest man on the WWE roster, or the fastest man on the WWE roster, but when it comes to being a Bam Bam Bigelow-style human bowling ball who can throw his weight around like a battering ram and chase foes down like […]

When Shinsuke Nakamura secured his spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, he did so at the expense of Bronson Reed, who wound up losing his first-ever match on RAW without much fanfare. So naturally, Reed decided to pay back that milestone by absolutely cutting into Nakamura’s match with Ricochet on RAW and […]

Shinsuke Nakamura has been a member of the WWE Universe since all the way back in 2016, when the New Japan Pro Wrestling stalwart decided to spurn “The King of Sports” for a chance to test his mettle against the best in the world. Though Nakamura has returned to Japan since, famously wrestling the Great […]

As a child, Bronson Reed got his “Mr. Nice Guy” nickname from his mother. … or did he? That’s right, despite cutting a special video package to introduce his new character, noting the motherly origin of the moniker, as it turns out, that was all a lie, a classic case of Kayfabe that seemed so […]

Since officially returning to WWE in December of 2022, Bronson Reed has been slowly building up momentum toward becoming an upper-mid card player. Reunited with Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the man who booked him to win the North American Championship in 2021, Reed has won (almost) every match he’s wrestled on RAW, had an impressive […]

Who is Bronson Reed? Is he a more-or-less one-for-one copy of the man born Jermaine Haley? A persona designed by creative to elicit crowd reactions? Or something in between? Sitting down for an interview with Ryan Satin on Out of Character, Reed compared his character to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, in that both men took […]

Theoretically, WWE set things up perfectly to take the United States Championship off of Austin Theory at Backlash. They booked a pair of supersized opponents in Bronson Reed and Bobby Lashley, who really don’t like each other, and could have had one pin the other to take the strap without Theory having to take the […]

After officially being drafted onto SmackDown along with his United States Championship belt, Austin Theory stopped by RAW Talk, potentially for the last time, to discuss his feelings about switching brands with Byron Saxton. “How does it feel for everyone else that’s on SmackDown?” Theory asked. “They’ve go to be excited to have the greatest […]

After turning his attention away from the United States Championship, taking part in a minor matchup with Brock Lesnar before being “awarded” an ill-fated feud with Bray Wyatt that went so poorly it literally cost him a spot on the WrestleMania 39 card, Bobby Lashley was finally afforded another chance to test his mettle against […]

After butting into Bobby Lashley’s interview with Cathy Kelley on RAW, suggesting that “The All-Mighty” taught him how to lose SmackDown during the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Bronson Reed found himself on RAW Talk with Byron Saxton to discuss confrontation with the former WWE Champion, even if he wouldn’t phrase it in such […]

Though it hasn’t yet been a year since Bronson Reed jumped ship from New Japan Pro Wrestling to bring his unique brand of big-bodied brutality to the WWE Universe, it’s hard to argue with his on-screen production. Sure, technically, Reed began his career in a weird way, playing the role of “heater” for The Miz […]

After taking part in a successful running of the Elimination Chamber, earning a moral victory for his efforts against the best of the best WWE has to offer, and a shout-out from Paul “Triple H” Levesque despite falling sort of a United States Championship victory, Bronson Reed was given a tune-up match against one of […]

By absolutely demolishing Dolph Ziggler on RAW, Bronson Reed punched his ticket to the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber. While his inclusion in the match may not have been the most obvious choice for WWE-only fans, those who watched Reed run the show in Impact and New Japan Pro Wrestling know that there’s more to the […]

Jay White has a bone to pick with Kazuchika Okada ahead of their match at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 17. Two of the highest-profile performers working outside of “The Big 2,” WWE and AEW, today, White and Okada held the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship for 361 of 2022’s 365 calendar days, with the […]

There was a time when Jonah looked primed to become one of the biggest foreign stars in New Japan Pro Wrestling. He was booked very well in both Impact and NJPW Strong, where he’d frequently “send ’em (his opponents) to the morgue” like his theme song suggests, both as a singles performer and as part […]

When The Miz took the ring against Dexter Lumis on Monday Night RAW for a winner-takes-all combination money-ladder match, he really needed to win. Sure, Miz is theoretically loaded, with money just rolling in from his WWE contract, his Miz and Mrs. contract, and his royalties from The Marine movies he made for WWE Studios, […]

Folks, it’s official: Jonah, aka Bronson Reed from NXT, has left the ranks of the indies, Impact Wrestling, and New Japan Pro Wrestling behind once and for all – at least for now – to return to the greater WWE Universe. All of his work establishing himself as a Vader-esque big man with an absolutely […]

If you’re a hardcore fan of professional wrestling who watches everything from WWE to PWG, you may have noticed that Jonah, aka NXT’s Bronson Reed, has been noticeably absent from Impact television since all the way back in April, when the “Top Dog” lost a “Monster Ball” match to PCO of Honor No More. What […]

Jonah could still find himself in the WWE video game after all! He was recently released from the promotion and many assumed that meant he would be done with every aspect of WWE. In a recent interview with Fightful, Jonah revealed he did all the scans for WWE 2K22. They even went as far as […]
