Bronson Reed has admitted that he didn’t expect a brief moment in one of his WWE segments to gain as much traction as it did.
Reed’s monster push began on Raw when he destroyed Seth Rollins with 6 Tsunamis in quick succession. Continuing to add victims to his hitlist, Reed eventually came face to face with Braun Strowman. Both men brawled around arenas for weeks with a number of moments that went viral on social media with cars, walls and the ring all destroyed in the process.
During their brawl on the September 16th Raw after their match never officially began, Strowman attempted to charge Reed on the outside with his run around the ring spot. However, Strowman found his momentum stunted when Reed threw a fan at him who was sitting in the front row.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Reed first joked that the fan had it coming as he was wearing a Jey Uso shirt before admitting he was surprised at how popular the clip became:
“Yeah, he had a Yeet shirt on [laughs], that’s where it comes from. I mean, I didn’t expect that one to be as viral as it is. That actually got the most views out of everything from that most recent match we did. I thought maybe going through the wall would be more viral, but it was hit with a fan getting thrown. I think because people just aren’t expecting it, again, he’s doing his train thing, and then out of nowhere, you just see some guy coming on screen.”
With a standard match not being appropriate for Reed and Strowman to settle their differences, both took part in a Last Monster Standing match on the September 30th episode of Raw. With just about everything destroyed in the process, a returning Seth Rollins proved to be the deciding factor in allowing Strowman to pick up the victory.
Also in the interview, Bronson Reed detailed the original plans behind the attack on Seth Rollins.
