7 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 1)

3. Feuding With Comedians

Remember when Braun Strowman was tipping over ambulances and collapsing stage sets?

Neither does WWE, seemingly.

After teaming with a 10-year-old to win the Raw tag titles last year, Strowman is feuding with Saturday Night Live Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che, to the point where he beat up a pair of jobbers Monday night whom he named after the comedians. Because… reasons.

No one is asking for Shakespeare here, but this isn’t helping Braun. We’ve seen him do a comedy rivalry before, when he was feuding with Elias and played a bass, for example. This just isn’t funny or even entertaining.

But at least EC3 and Tyler Breeze avoided getting attacked by Braun.
