Bronson Reed is back in WWE.
On the December 19 episode of WWE RAW, Dexter Lumis faced The Miz in a Winner Takes All Ladder Match. The two stars have been feuding since August, as Lumis made his return to WWE by stalking The Miz, but Johnny Gargano later revealed that Miz paid Lumis to follow him around and “torment” him for the sake of publicity. When The Miz stopped paying Lumis, the former NXT star actually started making his life miserable. Lumis defeated Miz to earn a WWE contract and the money The Miz owed him on the November 28 episode of RAW. The Miz wanted to win his money back, and he agreed to face Lumis in the high-stakes ladder match.
Lumis and Miz battled it out, and the former NXT star was on the verge of victory when Reed charged the ring, overpowered him, and laid him out. Reed then helped Miz climb the ladder and get the bags of money. The two stars then celebrated together.
