330 lbs WWE star is a fan of Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship belt: "I just like the aesthetic of it"
Gunther has been WWE's World Heavyweight Champion since SummerSlam 2024. Among many superstars who want to be in the ring with The Ring General for the world title, Bronson Reed recently expressed being a fan of the championship belt design.
Over the past few years, before making it into WWE, The Aus-zilla and Gunther have wrestled each other several times. The last time 'Big' Bronson Reed and The Imperium leader clashed was on the October 16, 2023, edition of Monday Night RAW. Back then, the 37-year-old successfully retained the Intercontinental Championship against The Aus-zilla.
In a recent interview with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, the 330-pound WWE Superstar was asked about his all-time favorite championship belt. Bronson Reed shared that he had a preference for classic wrestling titles. He admired the iconic Stone Cold Steve Austin's old eagle belt and the Undisputed Championship from 2002.
"I'm a sucker for the old school eagle Attitude Era Stone Cold belt - the one that he had, the big eagle. That or the undisputed championship that came in 2002, those two are my favorite championships," Reed said.
The Colossal also favored the current World Heavyweight Championship held by Gunther, appreciating its old-school aesthetic. The 36-year-old added:
"If I was to choose now, I would probably say the one that Gunther holds, which is the World Heavyweight Championship. I just like the aesthetic of it; it looks like more old school and the championships of the past; they’re the ones that I like." [From 04:25 to 04:53]
