Why did 330-pound star attack Seth Rollins on RAW? Details on WWE outburst explored

The RAW after SummerSlam didn't end well for Seth Rollins, as he was brutally thrashed by the 330-pound Big Bronson Reed. The incident unfolded when the Visionary confronted CM Punk on the red brand, seeking vengeance for the GTS he received while officiating Punk vs. Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam. However, the Scottish Warrior interrupted them, provoking the Voice of the Voiceless and leading Punk to chase Drew into the crowd.

Left alone in the ring, Seth Rollins was suddenly ambushed by Bronson Reed, who appeared out of nowhere and brutally destroyed him. Reed hit his finishing maneuver, Tsunami, multiple times, even as officials tried to stop him, leaving Rollins bleeding from his mouth.

Michael Cole provided some context for the attack from the commentary table, explaining that it might have been motivated by a backstage segment featuring Adam Pearce and Big Bronson Reed. The 35-year-old star was visibly frustrated at not getting a match on RAW after SummerSlam.

He warned the RAW General Manager that he would take matters into his own hands, believing Pearce was making excuses. So it appears that attacking Seth Rollins was part of Reed's plan to forge his own path to the top.

However, despite this explanation, many fans on the internet still believe that Bronson Reed's attack was a random and unexpected twist on RAW post-SummerSlam. It remains to be seen how things will unfold next after this brutal and surprising beatdown of Seth Rollins.

What's next for Seth Rollins after getting brutally attacked?

After Seth Rollins was attacked by Bronson Reed, Adam Pearce revealed in a backstage segment that the Visionary had been hospitalized and his condition was not good. It seems that fans will have to wait for an official update on Seth's future on Monday Night RAW.

However, if WWE does not announce a hiatus for the former World Heavyweight Champion, Seth could face Big Bronson next on the red brand. Adam Pearce could set up a singles match between these two for an upcoming edition of RAW or for Bash in Berlin 2024.

For those unaware, Bash in Berlin 2024 is set to take place on Saturday, August 31, 2024, at the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany.

Additionally, this angle between Reed and Rollins signals that the Stamford-based promotion has once again postponed the rivalry between CM Punk and the Visionary as Seth's focus shifts to Reed.

On the other hand, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre still have unfinished business to settle after the Scotsman provoked the Voice of the Voiceless with his bracelet.
