In a stunning display of confidence, WWE Superstar Bronson Reed has boldly declared himself a king, following his dominant victory over Alpha Academy’s Akira Tozawa on RAW. The 35-year-old wrestler’s statement comes ahead of the highly anticipated King and Queen of the Ring tournament, set to take place at the premium live event in Saudi Arabia later this month.
Reed’s impressive win over Tozawa lasted barely over a minute, leaving his opponent’s stablemate, Chad Gable, fuming. The dominant performance was followed by a boastful social media post, where Reed claimed he didn’t need to participate in the King of the Ring tournament, as he already considers himself a king.
This bold assertion comes on the heels of a tumultuous few weeks for Reed, who has voiced his frustration with his lack of results on the main roster. Speaking to a cameraman after a Gauntlet match on RAW last month, Reed expressed his disappointment, stating that he possesses all the tools to succeed in the company, but hasn’t quite achieved the desired results.
However, Reed now has the opportunity to turn the tide and capture his first title on the main roster at the WWE King and Queen of the Ring event on May 25. As he prepares to face Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship, Reed’s confidence is at an all-time high.
Zayn, who successfully defended his title against Alpha Academy’s Otis on RAW, will face off against Reed and Gable in a thrilling triple threat match. The tension between Otis and Gable was palpable after Otis’s loss, with Gable slapping his stablemate in the face, prompting Otis to follow him backstage.
As the WWE universe gears up for the King and Queen of the Ring tournament, all eyes will be on Bronson Reed to see if he can back up his bold claims and secure his first main roster title. Will the self-proclaimed king reign supreme, or will Zayn and Gable have other plans in store? Only time will tell.
