3. Reed’s Recipe For Success

Last week’s remaking of Bronson Reed was so nice, WWE decided to do it twice.

After defeating the Miz, Reed decimated R-Truth with another half-dozen Tsunamis, squashing WWE’s popular court jester, diving over officials, and ignoring an irate Raw GM Adam Pearce. Fans became increasingly unglued as Bronson climbed the turnbuckle each time, but they really lost it when Pearce talked him down from one… only for Reed to stalk to another turnbuckle closer to Truth and deliver two more Tsunamis.

All of this followed last week’s brutal attack on Seth Rollins, which wrote the Visionary off TV for the foreseeable future. That incredible piece of business did more to get Reed over as a killer than months of half-hearted booking. Just have him squash hapless goofs rather than go 50/50 with Miz before picking up the win.
