Bronson Reed Addresses Accusation of Stealing Rhea Ripley’s ‘Stomp’ Entrance

Bronson Reed had been portrayed as a dominant force on WWE television over the past several months, but he is currently sidelined due to an ankle injury. Despite being out of action, a fan accused him of stealing Rhea Ripley’s signature entrance, leading to Reed shutting down the fan.

Bronson Reed recently took to Twitter and uploaded a hype video of Monday Night RAW’s move to Netflix, as he confirmed he will not be present for the January 6th, 2025 episode but he promised to be back to destroy everyone. The video featured him posing for the camera and also doing a stomp on the stage, showing his dominance.

“Y’all wanted it. Y’all got it! Make sure to tune into @netflix Jan 6! I won’t be there for the debut, but when I can … I’ll be back to DESTROY EVERYONE!”

This led to a fan accusing Bronson Reed of stealing Rhea Ripley’s entrance, notably her foot stomp on the stage, as the can said, “okay bronson ripley.” Bronson Reed saw the fan’s accusation and was clearly not happy, as he shut down the fan by stating that he had been stomping the entry stairs since Rhea Ripley used to come watch him during shows back in Australia. Reed told the fan not to be a douche, adding that Ripley would agree with him.

“I’ve been stomping the entry stairs since Rhea used to come watch me back home in Australia. Don’t be a douche. She’d tell you the same thing.”

Bronson Reed and Rhea Ripley have a deep mutual respect for each other, so Reed wasn’t about to let the fan’s accusation go without responding. He took the opportunity to set the record straight and defend himself. At the moment, Reed is recovering from ankle surgery, so it will be some time before he returns to the ring. In the meantime, fans will continue to miss his presence on WWE television.
