Having recently attacked Seth Rollins and seemingly kicked WWE's Visionary from the Vision, there has reportedly been internal concern that Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed will be cheered like babyfaces.

Per TC of WrestleVotes, this concern was part of the reason why WWE opted to keep the Bron-Brons out of last week's battle royal to determine the #1 contender for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship.

In a storyline sense, the reason for Breakker and Reed's absence from that battle royal was that Raw General Manager Adam Pearce was punishing them for attacking Rollins and causing the World Heavyweight Title to be vacated. As for the match itself, Jey Uso last eliminated Dominik Mysterio to earn himself a shot at Raw's top men's prize; Main Event Jey will now face off against CM Punk at Saturday Night's Main Event for that vacant title.

For Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, their attack on Seth Rollins received a hugely positive crowd reaction, with fans popping as Breakker speared Seth, and Bronson then landed his ever-impressive Tsunami Splash on Rollins. In the case of Breakker, in particular, he's been getting more and more positive reactions across the past several months, with his intense, no-nonsense, head-on approach making it easy to see why fans want to get behind the second-generation Steiner.

WWE is seemingly keen to keep the Vision firmly as a heel act right now, though it remains to be seen how that's handled in the coming weeks and months, especially with the possibility of a new member or two joining the faction at some point.
