2. Braun Strowman
WWE continues to make the best use of Braun Strowman. He was featured in a really entertaining backstage segment alongside James Ellsworth. Later, he would be heavily featured in the men’s elimination match as well. Strowman was simply basking in all the attention he was receiving.
It took a flying elbow from Shane and almost all of James Ellsworth to eliminate Strowman. Even then, he would get eliminated only via count out. That is a move creative would keep reserved for a monster they want to protect. 2 years ago that monster was Rusev. Last night it was Strowman. Strowman would eventually have his revenge as well.
He would go on to grab SmackDown’s mascot, grab him and threw him from the entrance ramp. The men’s elimination match was about an hour long. Strowman was the clear star of the first half of the match. He was manhandling anyone who crossed paths with him. This included the WWE champion AJ Styles as well as the number one contender Dean Ambrose. Strowman was carrying Ambrose around like a child at one point. However, the question concerning Nia Jax must be repeated with Strowman as well. Would he be able to carry an entire match on his own? Strowman seems to be getting better with every passing week. At this rate, expect great things eventually for the monster among men.
