8 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE Raw (16 Sept - Results & Review)
3. A Fantastic Car Wreck
After the Tsunami onto the roof of a car last month, the much-anticipated clash between Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman was bound to be more spectacle than match, but no one could have imagined it would be the magnificent car crash we got on Monday night.
The match never even got started, with Reed charging Strowman and hitting the turnbuckle, knocking the top rope off the post. Things went downhill (in the best possible way) from there, with Bronson chucking a “fan” at Braun to derail the Strowman Express, the Monster of All Monsters spearing Reed through the barricade, and a trip backstage that upped the violence.
Backstage, Braun tipped over a golf cart before being sent through a couple of tables via Reed's Tsunami. Strowman would recover enough to drive Bronson through a wall, leaving both men laid out.
The charm in Reed’s resurgence has been that he’s followed a similar path that Braun did several years ago, and now he and Strowman are making that magic together. Bronson wrestling a 10-minute match against Strowman might have been fun, but their wild brawl was tremendous and makes their eventual in-ring clash a must-see trainwreck. Strowman has become a force of nature again, which is quite the accomplishment in 2024.
More destruction and chaos, please.
