10 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Aug 8)

8. Who’s Next On The Squash Parade?

While some fans might not entirely agree with the concept, WWE seemingly is going to continue bringing us the occasional squash match on Raw, with two new stars being the current beneficiaries of beating up on enhancement talent: Braun Strowman and Nia Jax.

Strowman and Jax have demolished local wrestlers in each of the past two weeks, with Byron Saxton amusingly interviewing the guy facing Braun beforehand. Squash matches might not leave much to the imagination, but then again, does anyone think Sin Cara, Bo Dallas or Curtis Axel would fare any better?

One suggestion though, as the destruction of local talent likely continues: It would be somewhat amusing if a couple guys Strowman had defeated before decided to gang up on him one week, only to all be demolished. If you’re going to put enhancement talent out there to get beat up, might as well go all-in.
