Bronson Reed confirmed that he was scheduled to face Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship in Australia, but the match was canceled due to an injury he suffered.

Bronson Reed revealed that Triple H personally pitched his pairing with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker, with the WWE executive reassuring Reed during his injury recovery that things would be good upon his return. Reed explained the alliance was a "very last second thing" he found out about, though he had always wanted to work with Heyman due to being a longtime ECW fan and receiving backstage help from Heyman on promos. The faction originally included Seth Rollins, but Reed noted they later kicked him out of the group, and he expressed surprise at the strong friendship that developed between him and Breakker over their six months traveling together.
