Bronson Reed returns to WWE and spears CM Punk into another timeline
Bronson Reed is back and he’s not here to shake hands.
The Aussie wrecking ball made a jaw dropping return to WWE on May 24, 2025, crashing through the barricade at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Tampa and spearing CM Punk with enough force to rattle the arena’s foundations.
This wasn’t just a run-in. It was a warning shot.
Reed didn’t just return, he aligned himself with Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, forming what’s already being called WWE’s most dangerous new faction. At the centre of it all? Paul Heyman, pulling the strings with his usual cold precision.
WWE just got heavier
The last time we saw Reed, he was being carted off after a brutal ankle injury at Survivor Series WarGames in November 2024. Now? He’s healthy, furious, and surrounded by two of WWE’s most dangerous assets.
Rollins gave him the nod post-match, confirming what fans suspected, this isn’t a one off. It’s a power move. A declaration. And with Heyman steering the ship, the gold might not be far behind.
CM Punk isn’t gonna let that slide
Punk’s return to WWE has been headline fuel for months, but this ambush sets the stage for a heavyweight feud that could headline any premium live event.
Reed didn’t just blindside Punk, he marked his territory. This is a man who’s not waiting for creative to hand him a storyline. He’s kicking the door off the hinges and making it his.
Expect fireworks, broken bones, and some very loud statements in the weeks to come.
Bronson Reed is back. And WWE just became a more dangerous place.
