5 Burning Issues For WWE Raw Tonight (Oct 9)
2. Braun Till November
Braun Strowman's kicked the sh*t out of the Tag Team Champions over the past few weeks, but the road is long with many a winding turn before he's back at the level he was when Brock Lesnar breathlessly dominated him.
He may fall out of the spotlight this week with his three biggest victims set to reunite for one of the biggest pops of the year, but Strowman can't afford even a week of neglect if WWE wish to get him back amongst the upper echelon before Tables, Ladders and Chairs.
His involvement with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in recent weeks perhaps teases his potential investment in their upcoming TLC war, but to rob him of a bout of his own on the card would be another unnecessary misstep for the year's biggest breakout star. Though all active titleholders are all currently well accounted for (whilst Strowman's slayer takes another break...) there are a host of warm bodies for Braun to bulldoze through before starting something significant en route to the Survivor Series.
WWE can nary afford a wrong move, even if it means forcing him into further handicap situations until one singles star has the chops to even try and fell the 'Monster Among Men'.
