Bronson Reed is currently sidelined from WWE programming due to an injury. However, that has not kept him from making his thoughts known to the WWE Universe. The 36-year-old often tweets out his live thoughts during episodes of Monday Night Raw and had something to say about the recent confrontation between CM Punk and Seth Rollins.

Reed boldly claimed with a post on X that Rollins is currently a shell of a man, and that is all thanks to the Australian. In fact, he even claimed that Punk should thank him. The only reason he was able to beat the Architect in the main event of Raw Netflix last week was because the 36-year-old had already left the former Universal Champion a shell of a man following the six Tsunamis last year.

Seth Rollins spent a considerable amount of 2024 struggling with injuries. Not only did he take some time off after WrestleMania to heal, but he also wanted some time off around August. Thus, Reed’s hellacious beatdown not only wrote him off TV but also elevated him to a rising star in the process.

However, it appears that Rollins has put his health issues behind him and is now back better than ever. He interrupted Punk’s promo on the latest episode of Raw, to which the Best in the World reacted hilariously. The Visionary said that he was now looking to get revenge against his rival by crushing his WrestleMania dreams. Thus, he declared himself for the Royal Rumble to prevent the Straight Edge Superstar from winning.

Bubba Ray believes Seth Rollins is in the worst position of his career

Seth Rollins has not done anything too significant since dropping the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. He was involved in a highly compelling feud against CM Punk but has come out on the losing end for now. Thus, Bubba Ray believes that he is really not doing well in his career at the moment.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bubba Ray said that Rollins no longer belongs in the group of heavy-hitting superstars and huge names that WWE currently has. He quoted Punk, John Cena, and Roman Reigns as some examples from this group.

I’m sorry, but with all these heavy hitters right now, Punk, Cena, Roman…I’m sorry, Seth’s character right now doesn’t fit into those, into that group.

Ray further said that a good way for Rollins to get his mojo back would be to eliminate Punk from the Royal Rumble and get his revenge. That match is still over two weeks away. Meanwhile, the Messiah is on a collision course with Drew McIntyre. He will face the Chosen One next week on Raw following their confrontation on Monday, where the Scottish wrestler also declared himself for the Rumble.
