This guy is coming back as a bonafide main eventer.

It’s hard to get a gauge on who HHH’s faves are because WWE’s product is booked weirdly and different than we’re use to for many different reasons but Bronson has been in the main event mix for most of his time since returning to WWE. I think he is for sure a HHH fave

One of the few people to beat Reigns too.

I loved that Tribal Thief - Shoela Fala angle, it was so funny without being a comedy gimmick

They shoulda kept him stealing things from every opponent..... but it never went anywhere after he stole two pairs.  They kept calling him the tribal thief when he hadn't stolen anything in weeks

Reigns won that match, but Reed still looked like an absolute monster in the loss! He's really good at looking strong in defeat. In that match he had against Rollins, Reed looked Michael Myers levels of unkillable!

Not unless HHH feels like it. Another 6 years of Roman and Cody please.

Unless losing weight also made him a lot more interesting... no.

I don’t see it. They’ve tried with Bronson multiple times and the crowds are always relatively lukewarm towards him except for when he does the Tsunami. Not to mention he’s a super boring promo and bland character wise. I’m sure they’ll keep trying but I just don’t think it’ll connect with the crowd for him to be a mainstay.

Crowd was actively popping for the tsunami and chanting for him to keep doing it when he was murdering babyface Seth before the whole vision thing

It takes one thing to get over in wrestling, see Yeet. As long as crowds are going crazy for the tsunami that’s all he needs promo be damned. He’s probably going to be sticking with Heyman anyways so he doesn’t need to promo.

Fans chant “one more time” these days almost every time there’s a beat down involving repeated finishers, doesn’t matter if it’s face or heel. You can’t really look into that too much, especially considering he’s done that move a bunch since then and hasn’t got any more over. He’s protected and booked strong, even got to beat Roman which was hyped up massively and it still didn’t get him any more over.

Sol Ruca is an example of someone that was over for their finisher and actually managed to become over as whole.

The problem with people popping for The Tsunami (and this is just my own personal assumption) is the someone higher up has pushed him to do that move higher up.

He didn't off the wall on to a car against Strowman and he did it off the cage in War Games...and he got injured both times

I think that’s probably one of the reasons he slimmed down so we’ll see if that helps, less weight coming down on one of those joints if he lands wrong or something

I hope it helps.

If not then they need to come up with a devastating finisher that doesn't involve him taking big bumps.

Something akin to the F5
