#6 Braun Strowman's WrestleMania direction was made clear on RAW

In 2021, it's Braun Strowman's turn to complain about RAW management. Over the last few years, we've seen a few WWE Superstars take issue with officials on either RAW or SmackDown.

As it turns out, Shane McMahon's quiet return to RAW for these "non-roles" has a purpose. Braun Strowman came out to air his grievances against WWE management, starting from the time a few months ago when he was suspended from RAW by Adam Pearce.

He then slammed Shane McMahon as well, telling everybody the WWE title Elimination Chamber match "sucked" without him, and that he was only excluded because of a technicality.

Shane McMahon came out with Adam Pearce and had a proposal for Braun Strowman - to compete for the RAW Tag Team titles again. His partner? Authority figure Adam Pearce.

While Braun Strowman had all the work done on Shelton Benjamin, Shane McMahon pressured him into tagging in Adam Pearce to get the pin. A frustrated Strowman relented, and Pearce took too much time and got pinned by Benjamin in the process.

The Hurt Business retained their titles, but the big story is about Braun Strowman and Shane McMahon - which appears to be a clear-cut direction heading into WrestleMania 37.
