Bronson Reed: My Time Away From WWE Gave Me More Confidence To Return

Bronson Reed discusses returning to WWE.

During his time away from WWE, Bronson Reed, performing as JONAH, wrestled in IMPACT Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Reed was able to wrestle the likes of PCO and was even fortunate enough to pick up a win over Kazuchika Okada. Now, he's returned to WWE, doing so by helping The Miz defeat Dexter Lumis in a Ladder Match on the December 19, 2022 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.

Speaking with Joel Pearl ahead of the WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 event, Bronson Reed explained how his time away from WWE gave him more confidence upon returning.

"I feel like, if anything, it gave me more confidence to come back here to WWE. I don’t have a chip on my shoulder, but it proved to me that I could go elsewhere and I could do other things and still be a commodity. Enough so that I could come back here to the WWE," said Reed. "I always had that in the back of my head that there was unfinished business. I didn’t get to be on a RAW or SmackDown or these premium live events. So now I’m back here, I’m killing it on RAW and I’m in my first Chamber match. Things seem to be working out. If anything, that time away almost helped me to come back for this run."
