The Strowman Express went "CHOO CHOO!" on last night's WWE Raw. Literally.

In one of WWE's most baffling production decisions since the ThunderDome was born last August (and think of the ground that covers...), Braun Strowman's signature charge around the ring was accompanied by train sound effects on last night's Raw.

Strowman wrestled Elias in a Fastlane 2021 rematch. Having beaten the former Drifter decisively at the pay-per-view, Braun did at again here, pasting Elias in little over three minutes after hitting the Powerslam.

The charge and its questionably sound effects are featured in WWE's official YouTube upload (skip to around 0:22 to hear for yourself):-

The choo-choo of the train's horn and the hugging of the engine played out as Strowman (or the "big diesel engine," as the announcers called him) barged through Elias and Jaxson Ryker en route to victory. The Strowman Express could now pass for a Thomas the Tank Engine character.

Strowman will face Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 37, as confirmed on last night's show. The two were supposed to go one-on-one at Fastlane but McMahon pulled out due to a worked knee injury, with Elias taking his place, eating these two consecutive defeats for his troubles.
