Bronson Reed says he can team up with 360 lb WWE star to recreate legendary tag team
WWE Superstar Bronson Reed is currently experiencing a significant push. He recently concluded a major feud with Braun Strowman and is now transitioning to a new rivalry with Seth Rollins. In a lighthearted moment, The King of Monsters playfully suggested that if his current run were unsuccessful, he would join forces with Otis (FKA Dozer) to create The Natural Disasters 2.0.
The Natural Disasters comprised Earthquake (John Tenta) and Typhoon (Fred Ottman). They wrestled in the World Wrestling Federation between 1991 and 1993 and clinched the WWF Tag Team Championship once. Interestingly, prior to their alliance, they had been involved in a rivalry.
Meanwhile, Otis ended his alliance with Chad Gable and is now a member of the Alpha Academy alongside Akira Tozawa and Maxxine Dupri. The Alpha Academy lost a match to the returning War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) on this week's episode of Monday Night RAW.
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT, Bronson Reed humorously suggested that if his current endeavors don't pan out, he might consider teaming up with 360-pound WWE Superstar to recreate the iconic tag team, the Natural Disasters.
"I said you could have Earthquake, Typhoon, Tsunami. [So] eventually [Dozer/Otis] will be Landslide. If all else fails, me and [Otis] can be the Natural Disasters 2.0," he said. (From 29:48 to 30:03)

Bronson Reed says he predicted female WWE star's success ten years ago
During the same interaction with Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT, The Colossal opened up about Rhea Ripley's rising stardom. Bronson Reed praised the former WWE Women's World Champion.
The King of Monsters recalled Rhea Ripley's early days as a fan and predicted her future success in WWE. He observed a special quality in Mami and believed she was destined for greatness, which eventually came to fruition when she joined the company.
"She [Rhea Ripley] used to actually come to the independent shows when I was wrestling, and she was a fan. And then I remember she started training, and I was like, ‘Oh, this girl’s gonna be famous!’ I could tell straight away. There was something about her. I was like, ‘If she signs with WWE, she’ll be off and running,’ and it happened. I think the Rhea you see now was always in the Rhea before, but I think when she signed to WWE—and this happens as well—that you feel like you have to, not change yourself, but you have to be a certain way," he said.
Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed have expressed their desire to face each other in a singles match to RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. However, as of now, the company has not officially announced this bout.
