And it has finally come to pass. After weeks of suspense and rumors, Bronson Reed is back on WWE TV, having made his presence felt on Monday Night Raw by attacking Dexter Lumis and helping The Miz win their “Winner Takes All” ladder match.
The former NXT North American Champion was in the midst of a sustained push under Triple H in the black and gold brand when he was released suddenly. Apparently, Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard had no plans for the big man when they took over and rebooted NXT, leading to his exit.

However, as a HHH favorite, as soon as Hunter took over creative duties, there were rumors that Reed would return to WWE after having a successful time in Japan in the interim. And that came to pass last night as the Aussie manhandled fellow NXT alum Lumis just as he was about scale the ladder and retrieve the bag containing the money that The Miz purportedly owed him.
A backstage video from later saw Reed take his cut of the money that The Awesome One won, and it will be intriguing to see what Triple H & Co have in store for the heavyweight.
Are you happy to see Bronson Reed by on WWE TV?
