WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman recently praised Bronson Reed for finally receiving the recognition he has long deserved in the WWE RAW spotlight. Heyman emphasized that after years of being underappreciated, Reed is now positioned as a major main event player on Monday Night RAW.
Bronson Reed gained momentum last year before an injury at Survivor Series: WarGames sidelined him for several months. Since his return, Reed has aligned with Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker, solidifying his presence as a leading figure on WWE programming.
Heyman Discusses Bronson Reed’s Shift to Main Event Status
In an interview on SHAK Wrestling, Paul Heyman lauded Bronson Reed’s talents and noted how he had not been fully utilized in the past. Heyman pointed out that Reed’s association with Seth Rollins has helped elevate his status and provided opportunities to face top-tier opponents.
“Bronson Reed is the most underappreciated and underutilized monster that we’ve had [for] years. And now, finally, he gets the spotlight to enjoy. And he not only gets the spotlight, but now he gets the right opponents to smash. Now he gets the right opponents to Tsunami. Before, it was an effort to get Bronson Reed into a main event. Now the main eventers line up for him,” he said. [5:09 – 5:45]
