Bronson Reed believes a current AEW Champion was once the Roman Reigns of NJPW.
The Tribal Thief is currently involved in a program with The OTC, with the two set to face off again in an Australian Street Fight at WWE Crown Jewel: Perth this Saturday. They previously clashed at Clash in Paris, where Reed took out Reigns after delivering multiple devastating Tsunamis.
During a recent appearance on the Battleground Podcast, WWE Superstar Bronson Reed reflected on his 2022 program with Kazuchika Okada, referring to The Rainmaker as the Roman Reigns of Japanâ€s top wrestling promotion.
“I remember when I did get released from NXT, I was like, ‘Well, Iâ€m just going to go out there and prove myself again and make sure that they know they made the wrong decision,â€â€ Reed recalled.
“I made sure that I knew I was going to get to Japan, but I didnâ€t know that I was going to have the matches I was going to have, and then how everything worked, and I got to work with, obviously, Okada, who at the time was unbeatable in Japan… You could say he was the Roman Reigns of New Japan at the time, for sure, and to beat him in the G1 and do what I did, I think it put a lot of eyes back on me.†(H/T Fightful)
