7 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 22)

2. Braun Turns Face?

With Brock Lesnar being the other challenger for the vacant WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel, it only made sense that Braun Strowman would transition back to being a fan favorite Monday night.

Strowman, who had turned heel just a few months ago, didn’t pick a 10-year-old to be in his corner or anything like that, but he subtly mimicked Roman Reigns’ top criticism of Brock being an absentee champion by stating that when he wins the title, he’ll bring it to Raw every week, not just when he feels like it.

And if it wasn’t clear that Strowman had turned face, when he finished talking, he turned around – right into a Claymore Kick from Drew McIntyre. Just like that, Braun was the guy facing challengers on all sides.

Braun also noted that while he has “differences” with Roman, the former champ would get the first shot at the title when he returns from beating leukemia.
