5 Burning Issues For WWE Raw Tonight (Oct 23)
1. Strowman's Land
Did last night's chaotic main event finally mark the babyface turn of Braun Strowman?
Tipped into a bin lorry by his unsympathetic teammates, the 'Monster Among Men' was seemingly blamed by The Miz and The Bar for the skirmish that occurred between himself and Kane following a series of (very) minor miscommunications in their battle with Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Kurt Angle.
After Braun showed yet more sub-human strength in escaping from the same rigged pile of chairs that irreversibly buried Wade Barrett seven years earlier following a chokeslam through the stage by the 'Big Red Machine', he ended up incurring the wrath of his supposed allies, and wasn't seen again as the heroes marched to victory in his absence.
Somewhere between 'absolutely fine' and 'crushed to death', expect Strowman so smash some sh*t up upon his return, perhaps with a view of taking out another iconic giant in Kane as he has done already this year with The Big Show.
Fans have been itching to cheer both the cause and effect of Braun's actions, and the cathartic potential of him bulldozing Raw's baddies is untapped. Should Raw yet again need to assemble a team strong enough to take on Shane McMahon and anybody lucky enough to stand in his presence, Strowman simply must be the first name on the team-sheet. Or even the only one.
