#2 Best: Playing roles and stomping mud holes

LesnaEnter caption — Lesnar has an intensity unmatched on Raw

Raw kicked off with Brock Lesnar this week, and he proved just why he is a special attraction, even in the year 2017. Lightning quick, he made short work of the Miztourage with moves that looked genuinely vicious. Lesnar has amazing reflexes for a man his size, and he seems like he's at a different level from the rest of the roster (that works at a much more subdued pace), with his advocate laying the framework for the beat down. While it would have been good to see Lesnar part of a segment concerning his own feud, we were just as happy to see him steamroll his opponents to an absolute pulp.
