WWE star Bronson Reed spoke with Fightful on a number of topics, including why he left NJPW during the middle of a huge push to return to the company.

Reed said, “It was very welcomed. I mean, at the same time, I was sort of hitting my stride with New Japan Pro Wrestling, and I have a deep love for Japanese style wrestling. When I was a teenager, I got into that, and because there were no Australian wrestlers in WWE, I thought that would be my career. I thought I’d be a Japanese wrestler and that was it. But then when WWE became a full-circle thing, when I got released, there was so much I hadn’t done. I hadn’t been on a Monday Night Raw. I hadn’t been on a SmackDown, pay-per-view, all these things. So when Hunter called me and we spoke about everything, that was definitely a deciding factor. But I have a good relationship with Triple H, and I definitely wanted to play on his team.“
