Bronson Reed addresses his fans for the first time since his WWE release
Reed once again took to Twitter to release a proper statement and addressed the pro-wrestling community in the aftermath of his release. He expanded on how it has affected him and his family.
He further thanked all of his co-workers and especially his fans for their love and support. Reed also said that it made him emotional when he found out that he was trending on Twitter after his release.
“I have had time to reflect now and process what has happened. I was very shocked, very upset. This just doesn’t affect me, it affects my wife as well. We are here in a foreign country but my wife is a super positive person and has kept me positive as well. I just wanted to reach out to all of you guys. And I am very thankful for the love and support I have received online, it’s incredible.

He added, “I am staying positive and I do believe, I am bar none, the best super heavyweight in the world and i will continue to prove that. As they say, one door closes and another one opens. For me, many doors are open. Now, it’s just about which one I want to walk through. Thank you very much for the support and love. Please, keep supporting, thanks.” Reed said.
However, Reed seemed emotional throughout this short video message. Surely, he is serving the non-compete clause from WWE and will be available soon. Given the way things have gone in the last few months, AEW fans might just be expecting the arrival of a formidable super heavyweight in Reed.
