One big thing: Bronson Reed escalates feud with Braun Strowman
WWE star Bronson Reed has intensified his rivalry with Braun Strowman, calling him a “scared little boy” on social media ahead of their match on next week’s Raw.
The details:
• Reed defeated The Miz on the August 19 episode of Raw, continuing his path of destruction.
• Braun Strowman saved The Miz from a post-match attack by Reed.
• Reed and Strowman are set to face each other on next week’s Raw.
• In a promo, Reed called Strowman “just another victim” and a “little kid that was picked on.”
• Reed doubled down on Twitter, stating: “Strowman isn’t a monster. He isn’t alpha. He’s a scared little boy.”
Why it matters:
This verbal assault marks a significant escalation in the Reed-Strowman feud, potentially setting the stage for a high-profile rivalry between two of WWE’s largest competitors. The outcome of their match could have implications for both stars’ trajectories in the company.
By the numbers:
• Reed has defeated Seth Rollins and R-Truth in recent weeks, using his devastating Tsunami finisher.
• Rollins was written off TV after receiving six Tsunamis on August 5.
• R-Truth reportedly suffered “cracked ribs” and “internal bruising” after Reed’s attack on August 12.
The big picture:
Reed’s recent string of victories and aggressive promos suggest WWE is positioning him as a dominant force on Raw. His confrontation with Strowman, a former Universal Champion, could be a litmus test for Reed’s main event potential.
