Braun Strowman And Vince McMahon

The show begins with Vince McMahon exiting his limousine, berating his chauffeur for scratching the car. But the first episode to enter the arena is Braun Strowman, who is greeted by huge cheers and screams from the Memphis crowd.

Strowman claims that Brock Lesnar “has always” feared the Monster Among Men, noting how Lesnar acted when Braun had opportunities at the Universal Title at Hell in a Cell and Crown Jewel. He then turned to the camera to address Lesnar, informing him and the audience that he’s 100-percent following his elbow injury.

Baron Corbin interrupts Strowman, who doesn’t seem to have time for the former acting GM’s nonsense, waving him off by creating “You Got Fired” chants.

After listening to Corbin wax on and on about winning the Royal Rumble, Strowman made a mad dash at Corbin, who ran backstage. Braun predictably started wrecking those in his path, tossing the Singh Brothers aside before quizzically taking notice of the limousine parked outside.

We then saw Elias camped outside, strumming the guitar with another song directed at Corbin, tipping off a listening Strowman that Corbin is inside the limo.

Strowman approached the vehicle, destroyed the left side mirror, and sent the poor driver sprawling. Furious, Braun grabbed a pipe and broke the window with it. He pulled off the limo door, screaming at Corbin.

And guess who saw Braun wreck the limo? A pissed off Vince McMahon, who was left speechless.

After the break, Braun tried to put the limo back together, but, uh, that’s not how it works. So Vince got rid of Braun’s title shot against Lesnar the Rumble, and a pissed off Strowman tipped over his limo. Like, damn.

Grade: B, This is the best version of Braun Strowman. Just give me “The Monster” screaming and wrecking stuff. We know who he is, so don’t take that savagery away from us. Vince may seem pissed, but isn’t he the same guy who wanted the “real” AJ Styles? Sure, the limo is expensive, but Braun could stand to make him more money so how mad can he really be?
