On Monday Night RAW, the WWE confirmed a high buildup match for the fans. Sami Zayn will face Chad Gable and Bronson Reed for the Intercontinental Championship at King and Queen of the Ring. On the one hand, the leader of Alpha Academy betrayed his trust after missing a title opportunity. In addition, Big Bronson declared himself as the next challenger for the belt. In response to both sides, Zayn agreed to a Triple Threat encounter in Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, it seems like the rivalry has poured out of WWE programming.

Bronson Reed took shots at Sami Zayn on Twitter in a sheer case of misunderstanding for the giant. And this sure has led him to face massive criticism online.

Rapper Macklemore recently surprised his followers with the release of a song titled’ Hind’s Hall’. In the song, he calls for the liberation of Palestine. The issue comes at a time when students all over the world have initiated protests in favor of Palestine. And this emerged as a way for the hip-hop artist to show his support. This gesture received love from Sami Zayn. He tweeted a picture of Macklemore with the caption, “Kendrick vs Drake beef and I’m out here like.” This was a jibe at the fans and media as they are too focused on the beef between the other two rappers. However, Big Bronson Reed misunderstood the context of the tweet.

The giant believed it was a shot at him in hip-hop style. So he came with his own reply. And he called Zayn a “Thrift shoppin a**”. He further reiterated that there would be a new champ in Saudi. This retort did not gain the favor of the wrestling community. They wasted no time to call out Bronson Reed for his comments. This prompted the giant to come out and clarify that he does not listen to Macklemore. In fact, he said that he simply misunderstood the tweet. He wrote on X, “I don’t listen to no macklemore. I though we were talking about hip hop. In fact 2 of the big 3 … homie posts a random picture of hip hop lite, how am I supposed to instantly know what it means? Yall are vultures.” And when fans still did not stop criticizing him, he simply tweeted, “Honestly, F this place.”

But this surely pissed off the fans further. They called out Reed for throwing a fit rather than apologizing for his misunderstanding. Moreover, they seemed to be more focused on educating the IC title contender. But well, it surely looks like Reed lost a lot of fan support for his match against Zayn.
