Former WWE NXT North American Champion Bronson Reed is currently recovering from the injury he suffered during WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, but fans have so far spent his hiatus asking him to deliver his Tsunami Splash brand to such controversial figures as Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. . Reed apparently took these requests to heart, as seen in his latest social media post.
“In this difficult time, I will be your vigilante on social networks” Reed wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) above an AI-generated photo of him in the Batman costume. “Because I’m not your hero: I’m a vocal guardian, a vigilant protector. The Dark Uce.”

The message is a parody of the final lines of Christopher Nolan’s 2008 blockbuster “The Dark Knight,” performed by Gary Oldman as Gotham City Police Commissioner Jim Gordon. Many fans in the replies responded with AI-generated images of Reed as other superheroes and also as the film’s villain, The Joker.
It’s unclear how long Reed will be out of action, although he says he will miss both the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania during his lengthy recovery. Reed jumped from the War Games cage during the hectic match, hoping to flatten Roman Reigns with a splash, but CM Punk saving Reigns at the last second sent Reed crashing through just over a table, injuring his leg in the process. Reed needed help getting backstage after the match. Reed’s injury reportedly led to Drew McIntyre’s return sooner than expected.
