WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (July 25)

7. Braun Strowman's Reverse Chokeslam

Eyebrows were raised when it was revealed that one of the only groups split up in the WWE Draft was The Wyatt Family. Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan stayed on SmackDown, but the monstrous Braun Strowman was picked by Monday Night Raw. Many wondered how the rookie Strowman might fare on his own.

Raw provided answers, he's going to be pushed as an unstoppable monster. In a squash match, Braun ran right through a poor local jobber, who actually did his bit by providing a promo pre-match. In a cool moment, Byron Saxton asked the enhancement talent what he was thinking, and the wrestler appeared nervous.

There are those fans who just don't dig squash matches, so it makes sense to believe a fair few may have just decided to skip this altogether. If you did, you missed Braun's new finisher, one which eerily mimics his visual similarity to someone like Kane.

Smashing his poor foe in mere minutes, Strowman used a Reverse Chokeslam, and it looked utterly brutal. This one is going to result in a few bloody noses going forward!
