Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman’s match on WWE Raw descended into chaos with the ring breaking and bodies flying.
The bell never actual even rang for two heavyweight brawlers on Monday night, and at one point Reed – who recently missed a show due to Covid – grabbed a ‘fan’ from the front row and launched the man at his opponent.
As part of the storyline, he has now been handed a ‘massive’ fine for his actions, while Raw general manager Adam Pearce said both men are being punished for the destruction.
Taking to X after the show, he wrote: ‘Bronson Reed has been fined a massive undisclosed amount for plucking an adult human male from the Portland audience and firing him at Braun Strowman.
‘Both men have been fined an equal undisclosed amount for destroying walls, golf carts, production equipment, and my sanity.’
Strowman cheekily replied: ‘Worth it!!!!’

Fans were awestruck by the scenes that unfolded, with started within the first three seconds when the Monster Among Men shoved Reed into the corner, causing the turnbuckle to completely disconnect.
It meant the two men were fighting without a top rope, with the action spilling outside the ring, where they crashed through a barrier into the timekeeper’s area.
In a particularly wild moment, Reed stopped a charging Strowman by launching a man from the front row at him, with commentators and fans shocked by the scenes.

Backstage, the fight continued with Strowman toppling a golf caddy with his bare hands, Reed sending his rival through a table, and both men charging through a wall.

Their rivalry looks set to continue as they build to a huge battle of the giants.
Reed is on a fantastic run as of late, with wins over Pete Dunne, Sheamus The Miz since early July, while he also took out Seth Rollins in vicious scenes.
