6 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (Nov 23)

2. Braun The Dope

When the writers were scripting it, they probably thought having Braun Strowman blow a gasket over a common phrase used millions of times would just show his unpredictability and volatility.

Instead, it just showed that Braun was an idiot.

Adam Pearce asked each member of Team Raw to make their case for a WWE Championship match, and coming to Strowman fifth, he said, “Last but not least…” which set Braun into a rage. He grabbed Pearce, who tried to explain himself, then headbutted the official down. Afterward, we learned that Braun had been escorted from the building and thus was out of the series of qualifying matches for a WWE title bout next month.

So Braun was so stupid that he heard an official talk about a title shot, asked him to make his case, and instead he beat up said official, costing him the opportunity at a world title match. Again, that’s not a hothead, that’s a moron.

Of course, WWE will probably bait-and-switch things, having Braun entered in next week’s triple threat, turning it into a fatal four-way. Because WWE.
