10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Aug 1)

8. Braun Strowman Continues Squashing Jobbers

An awful lot of people wondered what WWE were thinking by splitting Braun Strowman from the rest of The Wyatt Family in the WWE Draft. Things became a little clearer on last week's Monday Night Raw, when the big man debuted some fresh entrance music and even a new haircut. From there, he went on to completely annihilate a lowly jobber.

Those writing television did a superb job putting over the fear that wrestlers should feel when standing across the ring from Braun. There's really no need to change the established formula right now, Strowman can proceed with his vicious battering of local enhancement talent.

WWE have to get that Reverse Chokeslam over as much as they can, so that should be the move to end the match. It really doesn't matter who Strowman's opponent is, so long as they're given a quick 30 seconds or so on the mic to sell what happened to last week's victim and express their trepidation.

Fans may need a break after Finn Balor and Kevin Owens tear the house down, and a Braun Strowman squash would be perfect.
