Braun Strowman wasn't quite done for the evening when he soaked up that elbow from Shane McMahon. Trying to get back into the ring, he suddenly stopped and was unable to enter before the referee had counted to 10. It was only afterwards that James Ellsworth's hand could be seen on Braun's shin.

Distracted, Strowman was officially eliminated from the match by count out. The diminutive SmackDown Live 'mascot' had been the one to cause his elimination, and that infuriated the monstrous mountain of a man. Chasing Ellsworth up towards the entrance stage, Braun then annihilated WWE's newest signing.

A trio of tables were laying prone next to the entrance ramp, presumably to cushion Ellsworth's fall. Grabbed by Strowman, he was thrown off the stage and landed awkwardly on just one of those tables. Thankfully, it gave way and absorbed some of the impact.

In the midst of everything else that was going on in the Team Raw vs. Team SmackDown match, this was a wonderful visual. Strowman's elimination was easily explained and he was able to get revenge on James Ellsworth all at once.
