Bronson Reed: Being managed by Paul Heyman is a ‘dream come true’
Having Paul Heyman as his WWE manager is a dream come true for Bronson Reed.
Reed and Heyman linked up on screen this May when Reed was added to The Vision, a faction that also includes Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. The pairing of Reed and Heyman already existed behind the scenes before it was brought to TV, though, with Reed telling the Battleground Podcast that Heyman would help him with promos and his character.
“Honestly, for me, you know, I was a huge wrestling fan and specifically ECW. So it’s a bit of a dream come true for me,” Reed said about working with Heyman. “If I could have asked myself five years ago: ‘Who would you want to be managing you as a pro wrestler?’ I would pick Paul Heyman. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this business. So I feel like, if anything, I sort of make sure to pick his brain as much as possible because that just helps me with my career.”
Reed has a big homecoming ahead at WWE Crown Jewel this Saturday, where he will take on Roman Reigns in an Australian Street Fight. It’s a rematch from when they faced off at Clash in Paris. Though Reigns won that matchup, he was stretchered out after in an angle where he was attacked by Reed and Breakker. Reigns is looking for revenge in this second meeting.
Crown Jewel is being held in Perth, Western Australia and has a start time of 8 a.m. Eastern on Saturday (October 11). The PLE will air live on the ESPN streaming service in the United States and Netflix elsewhere.
