Speaking on the latest We're Live Pal episode, Andrew Zarian detailed how Paul Levesque has significant interest in bringing Bronson Reed back into the fold.

Nowadays cracking skulls in New Japan Pro-Wrestling under his JONAH name, the former NXT North American Champion is someone who's been discussed backstage for several weeks now where it pertains to stars Triple H wants to bring back to the company.

Previously, Bronson was seemingly on the cusp of a move to either Raw or SmackDown prior to being released by WWE in August 2021. Having worked several dark matches and tryout bouts, the Australian was left shocked when Vince McMahon pulled a U-turn and opted to release the star rather than move him to the main roster.

Since departing WWE, JONAH has been on quite the tear for the likes of IMPACT Wrestling and NJPW. Part of that tear has seen the 34-year-old re-form The Mighty Don't Kneel with Mikey Nicholls, Shane Haste and Bad Dude Tito, and JONAH even picked up a major singles win over Kazuchika Okada earlier this month as part of the G1 Climax.

In terms of his current status, JONAH is scheduled to be a part of New Japan's Burning Spirit tour through until the end of September. After that, it remains to be seen what's next for the massively talented powerhouse.

If the Thicc Boi does indeed return to WWE at some point, he'll join Johnny Gargano, Dakota Kai, Karrion Kross, Scarlett Bordeaux and Hit Row as previously released names who Triple H has opted to bring back to the promotion.
