9 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE SummerSlam 2018
4. Much Ado About Absolutely Nothing
So after weeks of playing up the stipulation of how Braun Strowman could lose his Money in the Bank briefcase if he lost in any capacity, the Monster Among Men went out and squashed former Universal Champion Kevin Owens in about two minutes flat.
What the actual hell?
Look, if WWE was trying to make Braun look really strong for later on, then that’s one thing. But when you do something like that, it makes fans wonder if there’s some punitive measure being taken against KO, who literally got one offensive move, a superkick that Strowman shrugged off.
One match won’t indicate that Owens is being de-pushed, but it’s worth noting that aside from his fluke win against Braun at Extreme Rules, KO’s last televised win came three months ago. Remember when this was the guy who beat John Cena in his debut match? Yeah.
And this is coming from someone who is a big fan of Braun Strowman, by the way.
