Hate Roman Reigns all you want, but his rivalry with Braun Strowman has turned into something that is must-see TV whenever it happens.

The two heavyweights have squared off numerous times this year and have torn into each other, leaving both men worse for wear most times. Monday night, Strowman and Reigns faced off in a Last Man Standing match, which featured several devastating moments, most notably Braun hurling a chair at Roman and Reigns spearing Strowman after a sprint down the ramp. It was a pretty good TV match.

In the end, Reigns fell victim to a hiding Samoa Joe, who choked out the Big Dog, allowing Strowman to beat the count and win the bout. It might have been a cop-out ending of sorts, but after the two stars beat the hell out of each other, Joe inserting himself into the bout worked.
