Seth Rollins Bronson Reed Alliance took many fans by surprise when the two former enemies joined forces on WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. Bronson Reed, once a fierce adversary of Seth Rollins, suddenly shifted his hostility into support by attacking CM Punk and Sami Zayn alongside Rollins’ faction. This abrupt change left audiences and critics questioning the motivation behind this new partnership.
The alliance was especially unexpected given the intense history between Rollins and Reed, who had previously clashed violently. Wrestling analyst Bully Ray openly expressed confusion and frustration regarding the pairing, highlighting the brutal nature of their past encounters and questioning the rationale for their newfound friendship.
Critics Voice Their Doubts Over the Sudden Alliance
Many wrestling fans and insiders found the shift from rivalry to alliance difficult to accept without clear storytelling. Bully Ray, a well-known voice in the wrestling community, called out the storyline’s lack of explanation during a recent commentary. He emphasized the severity of Reed’s previous attacks on Rollins and challenged the logic behind their alliance.
“I still want to know why, and maybe I missed it but I don’t think I did, tell me why you’re friends…with the guy who hit six Tsunami bombs on you, [and] tried to cave in your ribs, thus ending your career…,”
Bully said.
“Why are they friends? Have we gotten that yet…I want to know why you’re friends with the guy that…he didn’t just try to hit you with a finisher move, he didn’t hit you with a splash off the top rope, he didn’t hit you with the 400 lbs splash off the top rope once; he did it to you…five, six, seven times, whatever it is.”
WWE Clarifies the Origin of Their Partnership During Monday Night RAW
The WWE provided a clearer narrative on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW when Seth Rollins handed the microphone to Bronson Reed during an in-ring promo. Reed explained that the physical damage he inflicted on Rollins, including multiple powerful Tsunami splashes, led to unexpected respect between the two competitors.
Reed stated directly,
“Bron is a tough act to follow, but so am I,”
and continued,
“I am the man that hit Seth with six Tsunamis, hurting him so badly that it built a respect between you and I. So much so that Seth brought me into this group, brought me into his vision. And with that vision, I will get the respect that I deserve!”
Following this declaration, Reed challenged Jey Uso, signaling a fresh rivalry. He called out Uso, accusing him of disrespect and promising to assert his dominance once again with his signature Tsunami move.
“And Jey Uso, YEET Man, you do not respect me. So tonight, I will Tsunami the respect into you, just like I did Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins!”
Aftermath of the Match and Future Implications
In their singles match, Jey Uso won by disqualification, but the victory was overshadowed when Bronson Reed delivered several Tsunami splashes to Uso afterward, reinforcing his menace and the intensity of his character. This sequence further establishes Reed’s position within Seth Rollins’ group and sets the stage for ongoing storylines featuring new conflicts and ambitious goals within WWE.
The reveal of the reason behind the Seth Rollins Bronson Reed Alliance brings depth to their relationship, showing how respect can emerge even from brutal battles. This development may influence future matches and rivalries, potentially reshaping the dynamics between faction members and their opponents.
