6 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (August 31st)
3. Crushing Debut
Similarly, WWE managed to provide a really strong in-ring debut for Braun Strowman Monday night. The newest member of the Wyatt Family came in last week and dominated, then picked right back up where he left off on Raw, running roughshod over Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Strowman managed to decimate two-thirds of the Shield almost single-handedly a feat that should be a big deal. Sadly, he didnt get to show how developed he is in the ring, though that might not be the plan with him. Its possible given his size that hes destined for life in short squash matches, often against much smaller opponents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP2iIMP0gK0 For now, though, Strowman looked impressive enough tossing Ambrose and Reigns around. Hell provide some needed muscle for the Wyatts, and if he is able to back up his size with wrestling ability, then bully for him.
