Details on Bronson Reed return, Solo Sikoa, Tag Team division in WWE (Patreon)

WrestleVotes Radio is told that Bronson Reed’s name has been making waves internally over the past several weeks. Multiple indications point towards his return being on the horizon.After speaking with a source inside the company’s promotional merchandising department, WV has learned that Reed’s name has recently surfaced in a way that has caught our attention and strongly suggests that WWE is preparing for his return.While we're not told that Reed is necessarily days away, the expectation is that Reed will be back before long. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Reed is set to return as a key main event level heel, with the intention being for him to keep elevating up the card once he's back. That same source also noted that Reed’s return is something that the company has earmarked for a number of months with the potential for a program with Oba Femi later this year.

Another person making waves is Solo Sikoa.

In an update that mirrors the momentum we've seen building on television, WrestleVotes Radio is told that there has been an uptick in Solo Sikoa merchandise over the past month, particularly with his newly released Funko Pop doing better than expected according to a Fanatics source.It's said that WWE is working on incorporating new “Pew Pew” merchandise over the next several weeks, for sales both online and in the arena.

Elsewhere in the company the tag team division is getting a refresh.

In an overall update to the big picture of the WWE tag division, WrestleVotes Radio is told that the company is going to begin refocusing on a few fresh teams while other pairings continue to linger in peril.According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the consensus pairing of Shinsuke Nakamura and Hiromu Takahashi is being positioned upfront as challengers on SmackDown while Axiom and Nathan Frazer are also expected to see increased television time.As for Monday Night Raw, while The Vision continues to hold gold, a source states that finding challengers on the red brand has been a topic of internal debate. With the Street Profits currently off television as Montez Ford celebrates the birth of his son and Los Americanos being kept off TV until at least after TripleMania, there have been discussions about making the pairing of Ethan Page and Rusev more prominent. We’re told that there are some within the company that don’t want either talent simply getting lost in the tag division however, which has made the idea of elevating them as a pairing more of a discussion than a definitive direction.While the Creed Brothers have recent returned to television on Main Event, we're told that they have not been mentioned internally as potential challengers to The Vision to our knowledge.
