On this week's Monday Night RAW, the Monster Among Men interrupted Elias' concert with an absolutely massive double bass. He then unleashed a quite beautiful singing voice, incorporating his catchphrases in such a way that it plastered a smile all over the face, as opposed to compelling you to burn Stephanie McMahon's Marketing For Beginners handbook. In one of two classic sight gags, the guitar strings got those hands. As a bit, it worked because it was as irreverent as it was inexplicable - and because it added shade to rather than detracted from the Braun character. We love Braun because he is a destructive force - so when the punchline manifested as a brutal-looking double bass shot to the back, the natural order was restored. It helped too that Strowman was so comfortable playing for laughs. His enthusiasm was infectious.

This set a dangerous precedent, admittedly - there's every chance that that's all folks, and Strowman becomes a complete maroon as of next week - but at this point at least, the Braun character is so bulletproof that he can do anything.

Here's hoping Chief Brand Officer of WWE is next.
