5 Ups & 9 Downs From WWE Raw (Feb. 22)
2. Here Comes The Money… Again
Oh good God, we’re getting Shane McMahon versus Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 37, aren’t we?
Only WWE would treat facing the out-of-shape 51-year-old son of the owner as a major prize. But that’s what they’re likely setting up here: a featured bout between Shane-O-Mac and the Monster Among Men.
On Monday night, Braun went on a moronic rant about not being included in the “former WWE Champions Elimination Chamber match,” despite admitting that he’s a former Universal Champion – a fact Shane pointed out – and proceeded to let us know that everything sucks. It was an awful promo, but the point was that Shane sucks because he’s holding Braun back.
The entire thing was awkward and tried to shoehorn this budding “feud” into a really nice mini-angle between Miz and Bobby Lashley, dragging that ultimatum segment down a bit.
