When in doubt, book a crazy brawl between multiple super-heavyweights. If done right, it’s almost a surefire way to fire up a crowd.

That’s exactly what we got to close out Raw Monday night, as Brock Lesnar, Kane and Braun Strowman squared off in the main event slot. Strowman got leveled by Brock, who F-5’d Kane. Braun then recovered and power-slammed Lesnar through the announce table, standing tall to close the episode.

It was a really brief battle, with the roster and legends coming to ringside taking almost as long as the fight itself. Still, given the deflating segment prior with D-Generation X, getting a fiery brawl between the three super-heavyweights was a nice was to close the show.
