The Newfound Aggression of Bronson Reed: Creating a Pathway of Destruction in the WWE
Over the past year, Bronson Reed’s path in the WWE has been characterized by lost opportunities, bottled-up frustration, and an increasing drive to establish his authority. Reed has taken his resentment at being kept out of important events like WrestleMania 40 and the Elimination Chamber and used it to fuel a string of vicious attacks that have scared off fans and wrestlers alike. His most recent targets? None other than R-Truth, Braun Strowman, and Seth Rollins.
The Year the Flames Were Started
Bronson Reed has not had the best year in 2024. Even the most resilient superstars would become disheartened if they were to miss out on two of WWE’s biggest events: WrestleMania 40 and the Elimination Chamber. But these losses appear to have been the catalyst for Reed’s most recent destructive streak. Instead of disappearing into obscurity, he has returned with a vengeance, aiming to show that he is more than just a name in WWE’s always-changing scene.
With his renewed attitude, Reed is sending a clear message to both WWE management and fans that he is done waiting in the business of professional wrestling, where opportunity frequently favors the loudest shouters. Recent events have demonstrated Reed’s willingness to take issues into his own hands, using any means required.
An Adversarial Assault on Seth Rollins
The first of Reed’s recent heated altercations with former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins occurred on the August 5 episode of WWE Raw. This strike served as a harsh reminder of Reed’s physical strength and his will to go above and beyond in the WWE. It was a night Rollins would never forget. It was only the beginning for Reed.
Reed attacked Rollins to make a statement as much as causing suffering. Fans gasped as Rollins, a decorated veteran with innumerable awards, was methodically destroyed by Reed. With each defunct superstar that he replaces, Reed is blazing his trail in a world where respect is frequently won by brute force.
Victim of R-Truth Falls
The following week on Raw, Reed carried on his spree by deconstructing the consistently entertaining R-Truth, proving that he was not satisfied with just one victim. R-Truth, who is renowned for his humorous demeanor, was unable to match Reed’s intense intensity in the ring. Within minutes, Reed had transformed a friendly bout into a brutality exhibition, leaving R-Truth sprawled down in the ring, screaming for anyone else who dared to cross his path.
The fact that Reed defeated R-Truth served as a stark reminder that the “Colossal” Bronson Reed is not one to play around. Reed becomes increasingly self-assured and well-known with every victory, securing his position as one of the most formidable opponents on the Raw roster. The issue for WWE fans right now isn’t whether Reed would go for another celebrity, but rather, who will be the next?
An Encounter Between Men and the Monster
WWE put yet another curveball into the mix, just when it looked like Reed was invincible. Hard-fought victory over The Miz was achieved by Reed on Monday Night Raw on August 19. However, what happened next may have been the beginning of one of the fiercest rivalries in recent memory. Following the match, Reed ascended to the top rope in preparation to execute another devastating Tsunami splash on The Miz. However, before he could deliver a blow, Braun Strowman returned to Raw, and the arena exploded.
The WWE Universe erupted in shock at Strowman’s unexpected return. As he charged into the ring and faced Reed, there was a tense moment that had the crowd on the tip of their seats. The WWE Universe was calling for more, but the cameras went away to a separate backstage segment just as the altercation was about to pick up steam.
For Reed, this was just one more challenge, one more way to demonstrate his power. “The Monster Among Men,” Strowman, is a formidable foe. However, Reed sees him as simply another victim deserving of defeat.
Reed’s Audacious Remarks and the Prospect of War
In an interview after the altercation, Reed was frank and revealed the reasons behind his recent behavior. Exasperated at not being seen or heard, Reed disclosed that his assaults on Rollins, R-Truth, and now Strowman are all components of a deliberate strategy to draw attention to himself.
I was not being heard, so I had to take things too far. Reed said, “I wasn’t being listened to.” His remarks serve as a terrifying reminder of the worldview that currently guides him. Reed is motivated to defeat every opponent standing in his way because he feels he is among the greatest in the world, pound for pound.
In particular, Reed’s remarks regarding Strowman were instructive. Reed views Strowman as simply another victim, a man hiding behind muscles and still troubled by memories of being teased as a child, despite his formidable size and power. Reed said, “You never grow out of a bully,” and then he menacingly said he was going to “bully” Strowman himself the following week.
An Oncoming Titanic Strike
The impending match between Reed and Strowman looks to be nothing short of spectacular as WWE continues to hone Reed’s character as a terrifying force on Raw. As formidable individuals in their own right, the fight between these two is sure to be one of the greatest of all time. WWE has a history of matching similarly terrifying athletes against one another, producing some of the most unforgettable matches in the annals of professional wrestling. There’s everything to suggest that the match between Reed and Strowman will be historic.
The real question, though, is how Reed will perform in the face of a rival like Strowman. Although Reed has had a remarkable journey of destruction, Strowman is not your typical foe. Strowman, who is renowned for his extraordinary power and fortitude, has defeated some of the biggest stars in WWE. For Reed, this is the ultimate test; he has the chance to prove he belongs among the WWE’s best or face losing to one of the most intimidating superstars in the organization.
A New Monster on the Rise?
One thing is certain as the WWE Universe anxiously awaits the next installment of Reed’s tale: Bronson Reed is a man on a mission. His recent behavior has shocked the WWE, and the animosity between him and Strowman is already intense because of his vow to “bully” him.
It remains to be seen whether Reed can support his audacious remarks. He has, however, clearly caught the interest of both the locker room and the WWE Universe. One disruptive act at a time, Reed is carving out his path in a field where possibilities are scarce. Furthermore, judging by his recent trajectory, Bronson Reed dubbed the “Colossal,” is only getting started.
With his unflinching confidence and persistent aggression, Bronson Reed has the potential to become the next unstoppable monster in the WWE. This developing rivalry is certain to have a long-lasting effect on Monday Night Raw and the careers of both superstars, regardless of whether Braun Strowman rises to the challenge or faces Reed’s fury.
