WWE Great Balls Of Fire: 8 Things WWE Got Right

2. Surprising Everyone With Braun Strowman's Win

If everyone's being honest, Roman Reigns was the realistic pick to win Sunday's Ambulance Match and roll onto SummerSlam against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title. Now, there's a shred of doubt creeping into fan minds, all because big Braun Strowman shockingly picked up a comeback win to be proud of.

Sure, Reigns was going for a Spear, Braun deftly jumped out of the way and Roman (unable to halt his momentum) crashed into the vehicle by his own hand, but the record books show that Strowman got the victory. That was a result few could claim to see coming (though not all), and it was a win that makes Raw much more interesting than it perhaps would be with Reigns on top.

Surprises can be nice when they feel like legit curveballs and this was proof of that. Now, Raw's main title picture isn't so clear; WWE could still book Reigns vs. Lesnar at SummerSlam, or they could put Braun in Roman's place. Alternatively, how about a Triple Threat? It's hardly impossible.
