Bronson Reed made a surprise appearance on WWE SmackDown this week alongside Paul Heyman after the WarGames match between The Vision and Team CM Punk was made official on RAW.
Reed and Heyman were able to push for a match with Cody Rhodes, and it was as part of this match that Corey Graves referred to Bronson Reed as “The Behemoth from The Black Forest.”

That was a reference to where he is from – Black Forest, South Australia. That was the first time the name had been used by anyone in WWE and could now be pushed forward as part of his next merch release.
In recent months, Reed has been known by a number of names, including The Auszilla, which is another reference to his hometown.
Bronson Reed will be part of WWE WarGames
Bronson Reed was part of last year’s WarGames match, which was where he broke his ankle when he delivered a Tsunami from the top of the cage. He was then forced to undergo surgery, which kept him sidelined for several months until he returned and joined The Vision.
Reed has since become one of RAW’s biggest stars under Paul Heyman, alongside Bron Breakker, since the duo has been able to take out Seth Rollins. The former World Champion is now on the sidelines with a shoulder injury and could be out for a number of months.
Logan Paul has joined the group in his absence, which has allowed the stable to become four men once again, and now it seems that Drew McIntyre has also joined their WarGames team, after Jimmy Uso announced that he would be working with his brother at the show as well.
It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds in the coming weeks.
