5 Things WWE subtly told us at Extreme Rules 2019 (July 14th)

#3. Braun Strowman is getting pushed again

A monstrous victory

Braun Strowman magically returned from a ruptured spleen in a matter of two weeks to take on Bobby Lashley in a Last Man Standing match. As you would have probably felt as well, the expectations heading into this match were quite low.

And it's safe to say that both of these titans exceeded these expectations in a huge way. It was the most perfect way they could have booked a match between two men of such stature and Bobby Lashley, even in defeat, looked absolutely incredible.

It's not often in WWE where the loser of a match comes out looking good, but this match managed to help make Strowman look like a monster again while also protecting Lashley.

This more or less confirms Tom Colohue's report, which stated earlier that Paul Heyman plans to push Braun Strowman big time under his control.
