WWE RAW had an underwhelming show planned for this week

#2 Impressed on WWE RAW: Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman was brilliant in all his matches tonight

Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre teamed up on WWE RAW to face T-Bar and Mace this week. The two superstars then faced each other in the show's main event to deliver an entertaining clash between the two powerhouses. Eventually, Strowman emerged victoriously and won an opportunity to challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash.

Strowman and McIntyre delivered a well-balanced match that saw them both take an equal amount of punishment. At one point in the match, The Monster Among Men delivered a suplex off the top rope and surprised the viewers. He even had creative counters for McIntyre’s Claymore. Despite interferences from MVP, Bobby Lashley, T-Bar, and Mace, Strowman fought well for his title shot on WWE RAW.

The WWE Championship match at WrestleMania Backlash will now be a triple-threat battle featuring Lashley, McIntyre, and Strowman. The Monster Among Men deserved this opportunity, especially after undergoing a complete transformation and working on his in-ring skills to go up against the most agile monsters on WWE RAW. Lashley will now have to battle against two equally threatening challengers at the upcoming pay-per-view.
