Bronson Reed commented on Roman Reigns’ return on last night’s WWE Raw and his theft of Reigns’ sneakers. As noted, Reigns made his return on last night’s show and came out on top, challenging Reed to a match at Clash in Paris. Reed appeared on the Raw Recap after the show and you can see highlights below (per Fightful):

On Reigns’ return on Raw: “See what just happened out there? Blindsided by ‘The Tribal Chief’ again. If you notice every single time that I’ve been one on one with him, I’ve bested him and I’ve taken his shoes. But when it comes to Roman Reigns, he has to blindside us. That’s what he just did to Bron Breakker, that’s what he just did to me, and did he try to take these shoes?… Because he knows if he tried, I’m going to get back up and beat his ass.”

On stealing Reigns’ sneakers: “I get it, it’s happened to me. I grew up in some pretty bad parts of Adelaide, South Australia. Rhea Ripley knows all about it. She grew up there as well. You grow up tough. You have to fight for everything. We fought for everything, whether that’s in this wrestling business or whether that was on the streets in Adelaide and I never had the nicest pair of shoes growing up. So I envied people. Now I’ve made it a point that now that I’m making some cash, I do have the nice pair of shoes every single time that you see me, and now I’m going to take people’s shoes as well.”

On when he decided to take them: “I didn’t decide, it just happened in the moment. I saw Roman down. I saw he was exposed. I made Superman Clark Kent by taking his shoes.”
