10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Aug 8)
9. Braun Strowman Demolishes Another Jobber & Demands Better Competition
At some point, WWE must move Braun Strowman on from simply mowing down local jobbers. There's no immediate rush, these enhancement matches are working as desired, but they can't go on forever. On the plus side, the company can actually book Braun against some more competitive wrestlers, albeit those he would be expected to defeat.
On Raw, Strowman pastes another hapless victim, but doesn't look satisfied by it. Previously, this had been enough to keep him happy, but he's quickly morphing into a restless monster that demands better competition. After handily beating a fresh opponent with complete ease, Braun grabs the microphone.
Without hesitation, he says that he desires a greater challenge. This is a familiar trope of any jobber-crushing star, but it'd work well for Strowman. Coming out to appease her new monster, Stephanie McMahon then assures Braun that he'll get a much bigger challenge next week.
Putting emphasis on the word 'bigger', McMahon would be hinting at a match with Mark Henry. When Strowman beats the veteran, perhaps even performing a more crude version of his Reverse Chokeslam, he will look like a killer.
