Bronson Reed Breaks Silence On Unscripted WWE RAW Moment With Oba Femi

Bronson Reed Addresses Unscripted Foot-Swat With Oba Femi On WWE RAW

The tension following the broadcast continues to build, as Bronson Reed addresses unscripted foot-swat with Oba Femi following their viral in-ring confrontation on the September 7 episode of WWE RAW.

The incident occurred after The Vision laid out Femi during a chaotic beatdown. As Femi lay on the mat, Reed attempted to assert dominance by planting his foot on him, only for Femi to immediately swat Reed’s leg away—a moment confirmed by backstage sources to be entirely unscripted.

Reed Explains Power Struggle Behind Viral Moment

Speaking with West Sport, Reed broke his silence on the incident, framing the unscripted exchange as a natural collision between two top-tier powerhouses:

Asserting Dominance: “I think you’ve got to remember like I am the top dog. I’m always going to assert dominance and that’s what I would try to do and he’s very much the same. That’s why he obviously hit my foot off…”
Clash of Alpha Mentallities: “So if people have speculation about these things then go for it. Speculate, but of course like both of us want to be number one and we’re going to do whatever it takes to be number one.”

Rather than downplaying the moment, Reed acknowledged that the physical disagreement stems directly from both men refusing to yield leverage.

Six Months Of Scouting Led To Direct Target

Reed revealed that his focus on Femi began long before his physical return at Sunday Night’s Main Event. While sidelined for six months with an injury, Reed closely monitored the red brand’s weekly broadcasts:

Targeting The Top: “While I was away for those six months, I made sure to watch Monday nights every single week and I saw the rise of Oba Femi and how much he’s become a big part of WWE as one of the mainstays now.”
Clear Objectives: “I think you should always be gunning for the top. So if that’s what has happened in these last six months, that’s who I’m targeting.”

With Reed aligning with The Vision to systematically target Femi, the unscripted friction has added real-life intrigue to an already volatile rivalry.
