It's ok to book Braun Strowman as a hot-headed, bloodthirsty monster who gets outsmarted by his opponents. That's a plus, because it actually explains away defeats better than 'Oh, Roman Reigns is just better than him'. Don't let fans think this way, WWE, because it won't go down well.

Don't forget that the winner of this one is likely to face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam next month. Reigns is the best bet to get the win, but that doesn't mean he should do so strongly against Strowman. Quite the contrary, in fact; after Braun dominates much of the match, one opportunistic blow from Reigns could get him out of a sticky situation.

Maybe something like Roman throwing Braun through the back doors of the ambulance would suffice. It just wouldn't sit well to see Reigns handily open those doors, put Strowman in the back, lock him up and win. Best of all, Braun smashing through the back sells his brute force and sheer size.
