#4: Braun Strowman and Elias defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro in WWE's second "Symphony of Destruction" Match

The Intercontinental Champion, Braun Strowman, has been embroiled in a heated feud with Sami Zayn's cohorts, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro. Elias tagged with Strowman in WWE's second-ever "Symphony of Destruction" match last night.

The two big moments of the bout included Strowman power-slamming Nakamura onto a piano as Elias delivered a top rope elbow to Cesaro through a table. The Monster Among Men pinned Shinsuke Nakamura to secure the victory.

Storywise, it doesn't look like there is anything more to add to the Intercontinental Champion's beef with Nakamura and Cesaro at this stage. Strowman has had the benefit of tagging up with Elias to keep things entertaining every week.

But with nothing new to add, WWE made a good decision by adding a gimmick stipulation to what could have been a very normal tag team match.

Like Roman Reigns and King Corbin's never-ending saga, the Blue Brand has to know when storylines have to end, and with WrestleMania 36 in April, Braun Strowman needs to move on to bigger things.
