Why did WWE punish Braun Strowman after RAW? Full details on the backstage incident revealed

BIG Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman unleashed havoc in the latest episode of Monday Night RAW. The bitter rivals locked horns in a singles match last night. However, it soon turned into a full-fledged brawl, with The Monster Among Men and The King of Monsters destroying each other and everything that came their way.

However, the most sensational part was when the Australian Monster used a fan sitting in the front seat as a weapon. Reed picked an adult male from the crowd in the front row and tossed him on Strowman, leaving the crowd in total disbelief. The former Universal Champion retaliated by sending Reed crashing through the barricade.

The security officials rushed to the scene to separate the two men. However, Strowman stormed to the ramp and sent Bronson crashing through a road case before shoving some of the security guards. The former Universal Champion also destroyed a golf cart backstage.

The brawl spiraled backstage as Reed delivered a Tsunami on Braun Strowman before the latter sent him crashing through a piece of drywall. Following the jaw-dropping warfare between the two monsters, RAW General Manager Adam Pearce took to his X (Twitter) and revealed that Reed had been fined a ''massive undisclosed number'' for using a fan as a weapon.

The 46-year-old also disclosed that both men were fined ''an equal undisclosed amount'' for destroying the production equipment and several other things.

“Bronson Reed has been fined a massive undisclosed amount for plucking an adult human male from the Portland audience and firing him at Braun Strowman. Both [Reed and Strowman] men have been fined an equal undisclosed amount for destroying walls, golf carts, production equipment, and my sanity,” he wrote.

Will Braun Strowman face Bronson Reed at WWE Bad Blood 2024?

The feud between Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed has reached its peak, with both monsters looking for unimaginable ways to destroy each other, and fans have been wondering if the company will book an official match between them at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event.

Sadly, the chances of the former Universal champion getting his hands on the Australian beast at the upcoming PLE are relatively lower, as the match card is already stacked.

The Stamford-based company has already announced five spectacular matches for the Atlanta event. Considering that the promotion has preferred quality over quantity at PLEs in the Triple H-led era, there seems to be a spot for just one match, and that would likely be for the World Heavyweight Title.

Nevertheless, the rivalry between these two behemoths is likely to continue to grow on the flagship show in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see what the Triple H-led creative team has in store for Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman on the red brand.
