As bad as the rest of the Raw tag team division looked Monday night, one person clearly shined at their expense: Braun Strowman.

You’ve got to give credit to Braun for taking matters into his own hands. Four weeks out from WrestleMania, he didn’t have a match, so he marched out to the ring and made his own opportunity, which fit his character perfectly. He forced his way into the conversation for Mania, and now GM Kurt Angle will have to weigh in.

It’ll be interesting to see if we get a handicap match at Mania with The Bar, or if Braun gets to pick his partner. Memo to that possible person: Stand on the apron and let Strowman wrestle. You don’t want to be the person who gets pinned and costs Braun the tag titles.
