After obliterating jobbers in singles matches and a two-on-one handicap match last week, the next logical step for Braun Strowman obviously was a three-on-one bout Monday night.

Battling the Mile-High Trio, Strowman made short work of his opponents, sending two to the floor and then bealing the other over the top rope onto them. He chased down one of the hapless opponents, double-dropkicked two men and then finished them off. It’s those changes to a quicker series of moves and more impressive feats of strength that are eliciting reactions from the crowd.

Sure, Braun is still pretty green and a ways off from being a top guy, but he was moving in the right direction… right up until his challenge for more competition was answered.
