Seth "Freakin" Rollins was WWE's most valuable player in early 2024 until he took a much-deserved hiatus. It appears he has an even bigger task at hand this fall.
Bronson Reed decimated the former World Heavyweight Champion last week on WWE RAW. Rollins was sent to the hospital immediately after as he coughed blood following the assault. It was later announced that he would be out of action for an unspecified period.
This is a great opportunity for WWE to build up Bronson Reed, believes TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth. However, Nemeth also added that the company should be careful because if Reed continues to steamroll through the roster, they may not get the desired reaction for the Aussie from fans:
"I think you need to do it for two months," Nemeth said. "And at that point, casuals have caught on to what's happening, and you see packages, and by then you'll have seen things on Twitter. [...] They're treating him like this monster beast they have, you can't just continue it that way. But I think you have to hammer it home a few more times, and be really careful, because it's really easy to cheer for a guy who's kicking the s**t out of all your favorite guys, but you get really cool and really awesome really quickly."

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?
Earlier this year, Bronson Reed won the annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He even challenged Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn in Saudi Arabia. It will be interesting to see if this storyline catapults Reed into a higher position on the roster.
WWE CCO Triple H reacts to Bronson Reed's attack on Seth Rollins
Bronson Reed was plunged into a triple threat feud between Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Drew McIntyre last week. The latter two are reportedly set to square off at the upcoming Bash in Berlin event on August 31. Meanwhile, reacting to the Auszilla's remarkable six Tsunami hits on Seth Rollins last week, Triple H claimed that kind of impression will "last forever":
"If you’re going to make an impression… make it last forever. @BRONSONISHERE," Triple H wrote on X.
This past Monday, Reed continued carnage as he took out The Miz and R-Truth. Later on, Truth revealed what state his body was in.
