Bronson Reed Revealed Why He Cannot Use Rock As A Part Of His Name
From the very first day of joining WWE Bronson Reed has been extremely impressive. The thirty two year old professional wrestler started his wrestling career back in 2007. After spending over 11 years in the independent circuit he finally got his big break when WWE approached him.
In 2018, Bronson Reed signed a contract under WWE. Result all over Australia and the independent circuit of America before he was signed by the WWE. When he first signed the contract under WWE he was not being taken as a big deal.
At first he was working under his real name. Then he got the name Bronson Reed and after seeking some potential in him WWE finally decided to push him. A couple of months ago he won the WWE NXT North American Championship as he defeated Johnny Gargano inside a steel cage. But he was defeated by Isaiah “Swerve” Scott last week on NXT and lost the title.
But he could not survive the budget cut of WWE as he had been released during the mass release of the promotion. He could not work with any other promotion since but finally he joined NJPW and has been given the name Jonah.
Bronson Reed who is currently going by the name of Jonah recently spoke to Inside The Ropes where he revealed why he cannot use ‘Rock’ as a part of his name. He said;
“I just did so many last names, even to the degree of Jonah Reed. I had Jonah Rogue, they obviously didn’t want Rock so I had so many different last names. I did pitch just Jonah on it’s own as well, because sometimes with WWE you end up losing that second name anyway, but they wanted something that was completely theirs if you will.”
