Following the announcement of CM Punk as the cover athlete for the standard edition of WWE 2K26, Bronson Reed spoke with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely, 98.5 KLUC & The Sporting Tribune about the game, his role in The Vision faction, and his career trajectory. Since returning from injury last April, Reed has been a key figure on WWE RAW, which streams on Netflix, and aligned himself with Paul Heyman, Seth Rollins, and Bron Breakker in The Vision.
Bronson has earned notable victories over top stars like Roman Reigns and Kazuchika Okada, an achievement matched only by Finn Balor and Samoa Joe. Alongside Cody Rhodes, Bronson is one of the only wrestlers to have defeated Roman Reigns in a singles match in the past five years.
New Features in WWE 2K26 Highlight Exciting Gameplay
The upcoming WWE 2K26 promises fresh additions to entice gamers, featuring thumbtacks, stackable tables, dumpsters, inferno matches, and three stages of hell contests. A standout update is the What-If mode in this year’s Showcase, focusing on CM Punk’s career. Bronson Reed also shared personal scenarios that could have unfolded differently in his WWE path, including a rumored World Heavyweight Title match against Seth Rollins in Australia that was canceled due to injury.
Of course me vs. Seth Rollins was going to be something big. It was going to be in Australia for the championship, and it would have been something special for sure. But then I think things sort of happened for a reason. And then a whole year later, I returned to Australia and went against Roman Reigns and beat Roman Reigns in my home country. So things worked out in the end.
