4 Ups & 8 Downs From WWE Raw (March 8)

4. Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Braun Strowman Shane McMahon

Don’t adjust your TV, but it appears that Shane McMahon and Braun Strowman are feuding over a playground insult.

That sounds insane to say out loud, but Monday’s war of words showed that Braun wanted an apology and some respect from McMahon, who proceeded to drag things out for half the show before dropping a Forrest Gump reference (only a 27-year-old pop culture reference) and indirectly calling the Monster Among Men stupid.

So all this buildup is paid off with Shane calling Braun “stupid” and antagonizing him? That’s a WrestleMania-worthy feud? Was fighting over a shampoo commercial not available?
