#2 Bronson Reed crushes NXT Superstars on the way to TakeOver

AusZILLA has been on a rampage

The Big Man. The Thicc Boi. The Colossal One. Bronson Reed had a bit of a rough start in his NXT career but has been riding high for months. After getting crushed by Karrion Kross earlier this year, Reed took a look in the mirror and realized something.

He's a big athletic freak of nature, and the only one that's standing in his way is himself. Since then, AusZILLA has been nigh-unstoppable. Very few men have been able to actually beat him.

Prior to NXT TakeOver: XXX, Reed was on a five-match winning streak, knocking off the likes of Johnny Gargano, Roderick Strong, Damian Priest, and Shane Thorne.

As far as who has been able to topple the big man since his loss to Kross? Well, only two men have been so lucky. Damian Priest defeated Reed and three other men to capture the NXT North American Championship in a ladder match at NXT TakeOver: XXX.

In that match, Reed wasn't pinned, so it wasn't like he was actually beaten. That's a wash. His other loss? Well, spoiler alert, but it was to the man that ends this list coming in at #1.
