The poorest-planned WWE pay-per-view of 2019 became Hell In A House Show as a super-squad made up of The Viking Raiders and Braun Strowman steamrolled through The O.C in a contest that looked more like it had been planned as the dark match to send the fans home happy before the company realised they only had four matches booked. As a card-filler, it achieved an aim internally, it's just a shame said target wasn't to "have an enjoyable match".

'The Monster Among Men' featured heavily here ahead of his impending standoff with Tyson Fury on Monday Night Raw, but the finish saw Strowman left on the deck as AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were distracted for their unrelenting triple team assault.

Like Fury in his recent heroic World Title fight, Strowman fought back against the odds and ended up decking 'The Phenomenal One' to send a message to the 'Gypsy King' and trigger a hilarious sell all the way to the back from the punchdrunk Styles.
