Bronson Reed returns to WWE on Raw, aligns with The Miz

Bronson Reed has returned to WWE, aligning with The Miz. 

16 months after being released from the company, Reed returned to WWE on Monday’s Raw to aid The Miz in defeating Dexter Lumis in a winner takes all ladder match. 

A former NXT North American Champion, Reed was released by WWE in August 2021, going on to have a prominent stint outside the company as JONAH. 

Reed perhaps made his biggest mark away from WWE in New Japan Pro Wrestling, including defeating Kazuchika Okada in the 2022 G1 Climax tournament. He went on to drop a singles rematch to Okada in October 2022 at Declaration of Power in a featured bout. 

As JONAH, Reed was also featured in PWG, competing in the 2022 Battle of Los Angeles tournament and at July’s Nineteen event. A 2021-2022 run in Impact Wrestling culminated in losing a Monster’s Ball match to PCO in a match that aired in May.

Reed’s first WWE run began in 2019 when he was announced as part of the January Performance Center recruiting class. His NXT television debut would come later that year in July. His North American title reign lasted 42 days from May to July 2021.
