5 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 16)

4. Something Of A Letdown

After all of their epic battles, after destroying an ambulance, throwing a man off a loading dock, flipping over an ambulance and just generally wreaking havoc, you would think that a steel cage match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman would mean total annihilation.

But you’d be wrong.

Instead, the two men engaged in a pretty decent, but pedestrian bout. They didn’t do anything wrong or bad, but the bout just moved along until the climax, when Kane popped up from underneath the ring to attack Reigns and secure victory for Strowman. It was a lazy ending for the match and probably one of the weaker contests between the two.

Strowman and Reigns clearly are capable of better, and if this was intended to sell fans on the TLC match as a collision between them (in addition to the return of The Shield), then this fell short.
