WWE Universe was stunned and left shellshocked by the return of this 380lbs monster. No, this isn’t Brock Lesnar but someone who got into a shoot fight with the Beast Incarnate. Braun Strowman went on a rampage on RAW right after his return in the fatal four-way tag team match and ruthlessly decimated all the other teams. The Monster of Monsters carried on this carnage to SmackDown as well.
Braun Strowman made a return to RAW last week and came back with a bang to SmackDown. The Monster of all monsters made a dynamic return and had his first match-up in SmackDown after a very long time. Strowman dodged Gable’s punches and strikes and hit him with a powerbomb. Not just that, Strowman then went ahead and powerbombed the 330lbs Otis!

Fans left underwhelmed with Braun Strowman’s powerbomb
Fans made comparisons with AEW star Wardlow after looking at Strowman’s powerbomb. And not in a positive light. There was a slight botch in the powerbomb, which attracted unimpressed reactions from a lot of fans. While the botch must have been embarrassing, it still takes enormous strength to lift someone that heavy!
The botch got him some heat from Wardlow fans in particular. This was probably due to an earlier spat between the two wrestlers. There were speculations about a match-up between the two wrestlers after Strowman’s release from WWE. Fans had insinuated that Wardlow is eager to face the monster of all monsters, but these speculations were later dispelled.

“People aren’t so happy about the way Braun Strowman came back. There are mixed emotions as far as the way he came back and squashed Alpha Academy. I look at bringing someone like Braun back, you’ve gotta bring him back with some impact and you’ve got to wonder how you are going to do it.” Said Booker T. “I’m not looking to book the show. I’m just glad to see Braun back in action, back where he’s supposed to be,” he added.
