WWE Payback 2017: 20 Best Internet Reactions To Braun Strowman's Win

2. The Aftermath

It is just hugely frustrating that the ambulance-based aftermath of this match even had to happen. Okay, so you're looking to double down on the fact that Braun is a monster and that his threat that he wasn't done with Reigns wasn't empty bluster, but the story-telling logic here was flawed at very best.

Consider it this way, you have fans who aren't even usually Reigns fans commenting positively on his selling all over the place...

...And then you bring him back for this Raw Talk segment, apparently suffering from internal injuries and busted open, and getting his hero revenge on Strowman almost immediately. It's so immediately reductive.
