WWE star Bronson Reed, a member of The Vision, recently appeared on RAW Recap to discuss various topics, including his transformation during his time away from TV.
Reed said, “I think for me, it was a personal choice. I wanted to get in different shape. I also think I’ve been in this business for such a long time that if you don’t evolve, you die. And I think the character of Bronson Reed, if you watch it over the last few years, is constantly evolving. And yes, I’ve had some roadblocks. You saw me jump off of a cage, break my foot, had to come back from that. And I was a different iteration of myself that time when I came back and joined The Vision. Now this time, tearing my bicep in Atlanta, then last night returning in Atlanta in the same arena, I had to make sure I was a new version of myself yet again.”
On having more confidence now:
“Yeah, I don’t think it’s any secret how long I’ve been in the wrestling business. You know, next year marks 20 years for me. I’ve always wanted to be a pro wrestler; that’s what I’ve done since I was 18 years old. So for me, being in that ring comes so natural. Like, that’s my home. So, I’m very confident in what I do, and I have been for a long time, and I think I have some of the sharpest tools in the trade right now. It was more so that I kept getting those roadblocks. Even if you go back and you see me in NXT, I did get released. I had to go prove myself again, show the world how great I am, and I’m very happy to do that. And now, you’re right, now that I have transformed myself, lost 45 pounds, I’m moving around a lot different. I’m very confident in my skills even more so, I can do more things in the ring. So, the chip on my shoulder’s definitely grown and it’s just gonna keep on growing.”
