Bronson Reed had a phenomenal 2020 where he took down some major Superstars in WWE NXT. While The colossal Superstar lost to big names like Karrion Kross and Timothy Thatcher, he managed to take out most of the Superstars he competed against after June 2020.

After a short break, AusZilla returned to the NXT ring in late December, and he will be looking to leave a lasting impact on the brand in 2021. Reed was already on his way to becoming a future contender for a top title in 2020, and WWE could finally give him the push this year.

While Johnny Gargano has already defended his title against the smaller Leon Ruff, it’ll be great to watch him try his best to defend the NXT North American Championship against someone much bigger than him.

The Rebel Heart will be looking to prove himself with the title in his new run, and Reed could turn out to be a great challenger for Johnny Wrestling. On the other hand, Reed could benefit a lot from having a long rivalry with someone like Gargano.
