WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Aug 8)
8. Braun Strowman's Jobber Actually Got An Entrance
For the past few weeks, Braun Strowman has been running right through numerous jobbers to little fanfare. Both previous victims were handed some time on the microphone before their slaying, putting over the fear they felt upon being faced by the monstrous Strowman. This week, WWE tried something a little different.
Jorel Nelson was Braun's opponent this time around, and he refused to say anything backstage to Byron Saxton. Instead, he meekly looked around, as though he knew he was in for a hammering once he reached the ring. Notably, Nelson was actually given an entrance by WWE, something not afforded to his enhancement talent predecessors.
It was nothing special, granted, but at least the young man can now say he has had a televised introduction on Monday Night Raw. Interestingly, fans were more receptive to Braun Strowman, who seemed to be displaying much more attitude than he has done over the past few shows.
Nelson's entrance wasn't a long one, but actually turned out to be around the same length as his match.
