4 Ways WWE can elevate Bronson Reed

Bronson Reed has emerged as a serious threat on WWE RAW in recent months. It is safe to say that this is the best he has been booked since getting called up to the main roster in 2022.

The turning point came a few months ago when he completely annihilated Seth Rollins during an episode of Monday Night RAW. The Australian star delivered six devastating Tsunamis from the top rope, resulting in The Visionary being out of action for several weeks. The 36-year-old star's subsequent feud with Braun Strowman helped solidify him as a credible force. That feud got so over with fans that their Last Monster Standing Match was the main-event match on RAW a few weeks ago.

WWE should capitalize on this momentum and continue to give Reed a massive push. Below are four ways they could further elevate him.

#4. Solid performance in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match

The Royal Rumble match is a unique occasion where fans can watch 30 top stars compete for the same goal: to headline WrestleMania.

A solid performance in the Royal Rumble can demonstrate to fans that the company is genuinely trying to establish someone as a main event star. Bronson Reed needs to have a great showing in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match, possibly even finishing as one of the final four superstars in the match.

#3. Win the Intercontinental Championship

The Intercontinental Championship has regained its historical credibility over the last few years, often seen as the first step toward establishing someone as a main-event star.

Gunther is the most recent example, having had one of the greatest Intercontinental Championship reigns of all time and he is now holding the World Heavyweight Championship. WWE needs to allow Bronson Reed to establish himself as a main-event star, and a run with the Intercontinental Championship might be just what the former Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner needs.

#2. A feud with Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship

All signs indicate that Gunther is on track for a long reign with the World Heavyweight Championship. Therefore, The Ring General will need credible challengers along the way who could pose a threat to his title.

One such challenger could be Bronson Reed. A world title program for the 36-year-old star would be a significant opportunity for him to demonstrate that he can compete with some of the top stars in the company when the spotlight is on him.

#1. Squash Seth Rollins at WWE Crown Jewel 2024

During the latest episode of RAW, General Manager Adam Pearce announced that Bronson Reed will be facing Seth Rollins at the upcoming Crown Jewel Premium Live Event. This will definitely be the most important match of Reed's career thus far.

If WWE is serious about pushing Reed to the top, they could do so by having him defeat Rollins in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. If Bronson manages to dominate and secure a victory against someone of Seth's caliber, it will instantly elevate him to the top echelon of talent in the company.

It will be interesting to see what the Stamford-based company has planned for Bronson Reed moving forward.
