WWE Star Discusses Potential New Division

WWE

WWE star Bronson Reed has discussed a potential new division following his bout with Ivar on the November 27 episode of Raw.

On the November 27 episode of WWE Raw, Bronson Reed and Ivar went to a double countout during their first-time bout. Post match, the two behemoths brawled into the crowd and beat up a few officials.

Then, Reed and Ivar once again brawled when the Viking Raiders member interfered in the four-way main event on the November 28 edition of WWE NXT.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bronson Reed was asked to give his thoughts on the match with Ivar. He answered:

“I feel like this is something that the fans right now really want to see. It’s sort of been coined ‘Monday Night Meat’.”

“So there’s a few of us on the Monday Night Raw roster. There’s myself, there’s Ivar, there’s Gunther, who you could throw in there as super heavyweight.”

“There’s Otis. There’s a lot of meat to be slapped on Mondays, and I’m trying to reign that division. Big men slapping meat. I’ve let my fans know that they’re now meatheads.”

“That’s what I call my fans, all Meatheads. But yeah, last night was a good test for myself. As I said, I want to be the king of that division.”

“Ivar is up there with me. Even just walking around, doing things one that is not an easy experience for guys this big.”

“So to get in there and have someone that’s matched my size and trying to do the things that I try to do to smaller guys is really a test of my will,”

When Busted Open Radio co-host and WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray brought up the potential of a big man division, Reed replied:

“I definitely think there’s enough interest there. I said, even back when 205 Live started, there should be a 305 Live.”

“We have enough super heavyweights that are exciting to do some sort of division like that. But in the same aspect, I don’t want to be pigeon-her into being just a super heavyweight guy.”

“I think, in my personal opinion, it’s time for people that are world heavyweight champions to be heavyweight champions and eat some sandwiches. That’s where I’m taking it,”

When asked to describe the reaction to his match with Ivar, Bronson said:

“Funnily enough, it was a locker room sellout, that match. I think there’s enough moments in that match where the guys backstage are actually ‘ooh-ing’ and ‘ah-ing’ for things.”

“So whenever I’m in a match that’s a locker room sellout, I’m like okay, that’s a thumbs up for me because the boys like it. But the office liked it as well.”

“I think it’s something we’re gonna get to see more of, especially on Monday nights. Fridays, I’m not too sure about.”

“I think SmackDown now is getting a bit more cruiserweight-heavy, so there might be a bit of a competition of the cruiserweights on Fridays and the super heavy’s on Mondays and see who can outdo each other,”

Wes Lee defeated Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes and Johnny Gargano to become the number one contender for Dominik Mysterio’s NXT North American Championship at NXT Deadline on December 9.
