Of course, it protects Bruan Strowman, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley going forward, which is important in the build-up to their feud, but it also seemed like an unsatisfying ending after so much happening.

In fact, it didn't even feel like Strowman got enough of a comeback before being snuffed out with the steel chair.

Again, that was probably WWE's intention here, especially with a month to go leading up to The TLC pay per view, but the situation just didn't seem dire enough for Strowman, which really hurt the babyface appeal Strowman could have received from all of this.

Of course, WWE corrected all that after the match, but it could have been done much better.

Think about it! Why just not have McIntyre, Lashley and Corbin converge on Strowman and get the DQ that way?

At least that would have been a much more threatening situation for The Monster among men and would have helped WWE protect all three top stars for a big match later down the road.
