Bronson Reed Believes Vicious Seth Rollins Attack Should Have Been His WWE Debut

Bronson Reed has been making his mark on WWE, but in a recent interview, he revealed that his debut could have been much more impactful.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Reed explained that he felt his vicious attack on Seth Rollins during the August 5th episode of WWE Raw—where he delivered six Tsunamis to the former World Heavyweight Champion—was the moment he truly announced himself in the company. Reed went on to say that this brutal ambush should have been his WWE debut, rather than his original return when he helped The Miz.

“I was hoping for this when I first debuted, to be honest, and that’s nothing against the way I came back to WWE… But I feel like what I did with Seth was how I should have debuted.”

Reed initially made his WWE return in December 2022, aligning with The Miz in a feud against Dexter Lumis. However, he believes that the way his return played out didn’t pack the same punch as his ambush on Rollins would have. Reed likened the situation to his time in Impact Wrestling, where he immediately made a statement by attacking Josh Alexander.

“I did something similar in TNA when I attacked Josh Alexander on my first night. I think that’s what I should have done in my WWE debut.”

While he acknowledged the value of working with The Miz, Reed feels his career trajectory in WWE could have been stronger if his attack on Rollins had marked his first appearance.

Seth Rollins recently returned to WWE TV on September 30th after weeks on the sidelines following Reed’s brutal beatdown. Rollins assisted Braun Strowman in a Last Monster Standing Match against Reed on that edition of WWE Raw, continuing the story.
