Bronson Reed loves working with familiar people.
The current WWE roster is full of many names that made their name by grinding on the independent scene or in another smaller promotions. On Monday Night Raw alone, top names like CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Dragon Lee, Damian Priest, Gunther, Ilja Dragunov, Finn Balor, Pete Dunne, and Sami Zayn all had prior experience on the independent scene before arriving to WWE. Bronson Reed enjoys working with people that came up with same way he did.
“Even backstage now in WWE, there’s so many people that I worked on the independents with that it’s like, it almost feels like it is a new era of wrestling there. It feels good because I was already familiar with these people so it’s like — and that’s nothing against the guys that have been there for a longer time, there’s still a few of the older generation [stars] like Randy Orton who are still incredible and still there doing what they do. It feels nice to sort of have those people that have come up the same way as you, you’ve seen the same things, you’ve gone through the stories and you can talk about that backstage.” Reed said while speaking to Fightful for a new interview.
Elsewhere in the interview, Reed talked about wanting to cross paths with Gunther, the World Heavyweight Champion, again. Learn more by clicking here.
