Bronson Reed is back in the fold in WWE, and he's already made a major impact.

The opening contest on the "Saturday Night's Main Event" card featured a tag team grudge match. It was Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, who were accompanied by Paul Heyman, taking on CM Punk and Sami Zayn.

While it appeared Zayn was on the verge of ending the match, distractions from Rollins and Heyman allowed a returning Reed to make his presence felt. When the referee was distracted, Reed sent Punk crashing through the barricade.

Breakker then nailed Zayn with a spear for the win. Rollins, Breakker, and Heyman embraced Reed after the match. The Heyman-led faction continues to grow.

Reed had been out of action since "Survivor Series 2024." He participated in the WarGames match, where he suffered an injury. Reed fractured his talus bone after hitting a Tsunami off a pod in the cage.

There is history between Reed and Rollins. In storyline, Reed injured Rollins by delivering a series of Tsunamis. The angle elevated Reed within the ranks of the main roster, but Rollins ultimately got his revenge.

Now that Reed is aligned with Rollins, Heyman, and Breakker, this figures to be his biggest role on WWE TV yet. The former "NXT" North American titleholder has now found himself in the middle of a feud with Punk and Zayn thanks to his role in Heyman's new stable.

You can expect more details on Reed's decision to join Rollins, Breakker, and the former "Wiseman" during Monday's episode of "WWE Raw."
