5 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (May 8)
1. Reigns/Strowman Batter Each Other
It’s an intriguing idea that WWE is putting forward right now with Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. Both men are walking wounded, but neither will take the time to heal.
Instead, both men insist on showing up each week and continuing to pound on each other until someone can’t walk. It’s like a weeks-long Last Man Standing match, with Reigns and Strowman beating the crap out of each other until someone can’t stand up to administer a beating.
Monday, it was Roman’s turn to abuse Braun, with Reigns demolishing Strowman’s arm with a steel chair. What’s next? Braun takes out Roman’s shoulder or ankle? And will they eventually beat each other to the point where neither can show up (in storyline) with the GM ordering both to rest.
This won’t work for every feud, and it might not work for too much longer for this one in particular, but it’s an interesting one nonetheless.
