10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Oct 17)
3. Sami Zayn Defeats Curtis Axel Then Braun Strowman Destroys Him
Last week, Sami Zayn and Neville teamed together to vanquish the jobber-to-the-stars duo of Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas. Notably, Dallas walked out on Axel post-match, meaning there's something to work with there between the pair. For now though, Curtis should be angry and have demanded a singles match against Zayn.
This represents the chance to give Sami a simple win, one that then leads to a fresh feud for the man. Axel can look competitive, ultimately succumbing to his own exuberance. Rushing into things a little too much, he's caught with a Helluva Kick by Zayn for the victory.
Celebrating his mini-winning streak, Sami is then horrified to see none other than Braun Strowman behind him. Fans had warned the babyface of Braun's presence, wincing as Zayn gets smashed by the giant. Literally beating Sami from pillar to post, Strowman takes Sami up to the entrance ramp and hits a massive Chokeslam off the staging to the floor.
Rushing out, Mick Foley is incredulous at what has transpired. Then, Strowman can scream that he warned Mick what would happen. He wants better competition, or this kind of thing will keep occurring.
