WWE Star Reveals Recent New Nickname Was A Paul Heyman Idea

WWE

Bronson Reed has begun to make waves on Monday Night Raw following his return to the company back in December 2022.

Recently, a vignette aired showcasing Reed, where he dubbed himself as ‘Mr. Nice Guy’.

Speaking about the video to Ryan Satin on Out Of Character, Reed explained that the idea for him to be ‘Mr. Nice Guy’ was not one of his own, but an idea that came from Paul Heyman.

He said:

“That actually wasn’t my idea (to be billed as Mr. Nice Guy) but, it is sort of input so, you know, I’ve been watching a few different television shows that has a character that’s sort of similar to what I do. Australian TV shows and the Mr. Nice Guy was actually Paul Heyman.

“He suggested that and obviously when such a great mind of the business like Paul Heyman suggests anything, you should go with it because he knows what he’s talking about… Again, huge ECW fan. So, if he has an idea like that, of course, of course that’s what I’m gonna go with. But yeah, Mr. Nice Guy and it is representative of what you see, like us chatting right now. I am that nice guy. You can speak to me. It’s just when I step into the ring, that’s when the beast is unleashed, that’s when things change and I go to make my money. My money is by cracking skulls.”

Reed competed in a Triple Threat match for the United States Championship, coming up short against Austin Theory.
