Bronson Reed returned to WWE action at Sunday Night's Main Event following a months-long absence caused by a torn biceps. During his time away, the Australian performer focused on a physical transformation that resulted in a weight reduction of approximately 90 to 100 pounds compared to his 2022 return weight. Reed stated the lifestyle change was prompted by a competitive desire to remain relevant and protect his position within the company. Since his comeback, he has engaged in a storyline involving Oba Femi and Bron Breakker. Reed participated in an attack on Oba Femi at the event and again during a subsequent appearance on WWE Raw. His current focus centers on maintaining his physical condition to meet the demands of the promotion as the feud between the involved parties continues to develop.
