1. Strowman Continues Dominance

It’s tough to find a problem with how WWE continues to keep Braun Strowman strong. The monster continued to run through wrestlers Monday night, and even managed to look strong after being viciously attacked.

Braun demolished Apollo Crews, then pummeled Titus O’Neil. Then he dragged Crews’ carcass to the ambulance and tossed him inside. Unsurprisingly, Roman Reigns jumped out of the vehicle and attacked, but Strowman held his own. Roman speared Braun off the stage and through a couple tables on the floor, but after a matter of moments, Strowman was back on his feet, leaning on the ambulance.

Sure, we very well could see Reigns victorious over Strowman on Sunday, but WWE is doing a good job keeping the Monster Among Men looking strong. We’ll have to reassess next week on how things look.
