Bronson Reed sends 2-word message after taking out Braun Strowman on WWE RAW
WWE Superstar Bronson Reed played a pivotal role in determining the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship on last night's RAW. His interference cost Braun Strowman the opportunity to secure the top spot, as the Australian sent a clear message to the rest of the roster.
The 36-year-old star was pulled from last week's episode of the red brand's show due to a COVID-19 diagnosis. As a result, The Monster Among Men replaced Reed in the Intercontinental Championship Number One Contender's tournament's Triple Threat Match against Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser. Strowman emerged victorious and booked his spot in the Fatal Four-Way against Jey Uso, Pete Dunne, and Ilja Dragunov, which took place last night.
However, Reed made a shocking return during the match. In a dramatic moment, he eliminated Braun Strowman from the match by sending the former Universal Champion crashing through the commentary table, leaving everyone, including play-by-play announcer Joe Tessitore in a state of shock.
Following the events that went down on the flagship show, the former NXT North American Champion sent a two-word message, seemingly delivering a powerful statement to the entire WWE roster.
"Stand Tall!" he wrote.

Wrestling veteran believes WWE could feed Bronson Reed to CM Punk
As of now, CM Punk is involved in a heated rivalry with Drew McIntyre. After facing each other at SummerSlam and Bash in Berlin, The Scottish Warrior and The Straight Edge Superstar will lock horns in a trilogy bout at Bad Blood 2024 in a Hell in a Cell Match.
Meanwhile, in an episode of the Keepin' It 100 OFFICIAL podcast, wrestling veteran Konnan suggested that CM Punk and Bronson Reed could potentially create an engaging rivalry.
"I'm hoping. I don't think they [WWE] put out Seth Rollins, The Miz, and Ron Killings [R-Truth], who are featured performers if they didn't have big plans for Bronson. So I don't think they will mess that up," he said.
The WCW veteran claimed that the former NXT North American Champion had the potential to become an ultimate monster, capable of being defeated only by top WWE stars like Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, or Punk.
"But yeah, he could be the next monster to feed Roman, or Cody, or somebody like that. Or Punk," Konnan added.
