Bronson Reed has ignited speculation of a heated feud after publicly threatening Mr. Iguana on social media, following events at WWE RAW and the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. The tension stems from Reed’s visible frustration with Mr. Iguana’s swift rise in popularity after strong showings at Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank.
Bronson Reed Reacts to Mr. Iguana’s Rapid Fan Support
This past Saturday, Bronson Reed made headlines by interfering in the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, assisting Seth Rollins in securing the victory. The situation becomes more charged as Reed took to social media, expressing his irritation regarding the attention Mr. Iguana has received since his standout performances during Worlds Collide and his popular appearance in the Money in the Bank crowd. Reed’s public message underscored his motives and cast a shadow over the newcomer’s momentum.
“I can’t wait to TSUNAMI Mr. Iguana and make y’all cry,”
wrote Reed. —Bronson Reed, WWE Superstar
Mr. Iguana’s surge is notable. Over the weekend, he teamed with Aero Star and Octagon Jr. to defeat Lince Dorado, along with LWO members Cruz Del Toro and Dragon Lee, in a fierce matchup at Worlds Collide. Further cementing the evening’s drama, Dominik Mysterio confronted Octagon Jr. post-match and later defended his Intercontinental Championship against him at Money in the Bank 2025, adding another layer to WWE’s ongoing rivalries.
Discontent Among WWE Veterans Over Current Directions
Voices from within WWE have weighed in on the recent developments. Former WWE writer Vince Russo highlighted issues with the creative direction for Bronson Reed and fellow RAW star Bron Breakker, especially since the duo have begun appearing in matching black attire as part of their alliance with Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman. Russo argued that the lack of a formal team name or distinct gimmick was a missed opportunity for building their brand as a unit.
“My thing with this is, why are they coming out in black gear? Give them some kind of a gimmick, give them some kind of a name. They shouldn’t just be coming out in matching black gear.”
—Vince Russo, former WWE Writer
Since returning last month, Reed has been positioned alongside prominent figures, but criticism remains about the lack of a cohesive identity for the group. This creative decision has not gone unnoticed by fans and insiders, who expect a more defined vision for such high-profile talent.
Looking Ahead: Reed’s Next Challenge and Implications for WWE RAW
Bronson Reed, previously an NXT North American Champion but yet to win a main roster title, now faces a critical opportunity. On the next episode of WWE RAW, Reed will compete in a high-stakes Fatal 4-Way match as part of the King of the Ring tournament. The victor earns a coveted title shot at SummerSlam, providing Reed a possible path to solidify his place among the company’s elite.
The current turbulence between Bronson Reed and Mr. Iguana has introduced a volatile storyline, reflecting Reed’s impatience and intense rivalry with the emerging veteran. With WWE RAW and the wider WWE Universe watching closely, the outcome of Reed’s next matches could shape not only his future but also the landscape of ongoing feuds. As tensions rise, fans await to see if Reed can transform frustration into championship gold—or if Mr. Iguana’s remarkable surge continues to upset the established order.
