Seth Rollins made an unannounced return a week ago on RAW after a two-month absence. This past Monday, symbolically, Rollins joined the flagship show as CM Punk left to heal up after an exhausting Hell in a Cell match at WWE Bad Blood.
He wasted little time before challenging 'Big' Bronson Reed to a match. The Auszilla had taken this week off after losing to Braun Strowman last week, thanks to The Visionary.
Taking to Instagram, Bronson Reed looked back at the former World Heavyweight Champion's attacking him in the closing moments of the Last Man Standing match. He claimed that it was nothing, simply brushing it off:
"The funny thing is .... this isn't even the worst I've been down. Haha. *clapping hands emoji* seth," wrote Bronson Reed.

It is also worth noting that Seth Rollins appears to be on the verge of turning heel, as he cut a distasteful promo about CM Punk before challenging Bronson Reed. He stated that he hopes to see Punk back in the ring so that he can end the latter's career. Rollins was also visibly annoyed at Jey Uso for interrupting his promo.
Bronson Reed credits WWE CCO Triple H for elevating his first segment with Seth Rollins
For Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed, it all started on the August 5 episode of RAW, two nights after SummerSlam. Reed interrupted Rollins in the ring and hit the former World Heavyweight Champion with six Tsunamis.
Speaking about this segment on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the 330-pound Australian wrestler revealed it was Triple H who wanted him to hit his finisher a lot of times. According to Reed, The Game's vision was to make the attack feel as big as possible:
"I think it was supposed to be significantly less. Then the way that it turned out with Hunter’s [Triple H] vision, is it just was more and more and more," he said.
During The Visionary's absence, Brosnon Reed was a force to be reckoned with, having steamrolled through the roster. It remains to be seen when WWE books their showdown, which has evoked a sense of excitement among fans as it feels fresh.
