What's the story?
WWE announcer Charly Caruso caught up with "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman, following Strowman's brutal match against Kane on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw. During his interaction with Caruso, Strowman decided to send a warning to current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.
In case you didn't know...
On this week's episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE's two behemoths Kane and Braun Strowman collided in a one-on-one match, with the winner scheduled to face off against Brock Lesnar at next year's Royal Rumble pay-per-view for the Universal Championship. The two men competed in an absolutely brutal match, which ended in a double count-out and a clear winner was not decided in the evening.
However, after the match both Strowman and Kane decided to continue to beat each other up as "The Monster among Men" hit a Running Powerslam on "The Red Big Machine" through a table, as Strowman stood tall over his opponent to end the show.
The heart of the matter
During his backstage interview with Caruso, Strowman seemed to be in a very angry mood and had some strong words for "The Beast" Brock Lesnar; as he stated that nothing is going stand in his path of destruction. "The Monster" also made it very clear by saying that he is coming after Lesnar and his Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble 2018 pay-per-view.
"Nothing is going to stand in my way of Brock Lesnar and that Universal Championship" Braun Strowman stated, during the interview with Charly Caruso following Raw.
What's next?
WWE is yet to announce a proper #1 contender for Lesnar's Universal Title at Royal Rumble, but after hearing Strowman's interview it seems like Vince McMahon and his creative team might go ahead with the plans of a rematch between Lesnar and Strowman in early 2018.
However, as it was noted on Raw, the match between Kane and Strowman never had an actual winner and WWE might consider the idea of booking a triple threat match between Kane, Braun Strowman, and Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at Royal Rumble 2018.
Author's Take
Seeing Kane in a World Title match is definitely going to be strange for me and I personally think that if there is anyone who is worthy enough of a shot at the WWE Universal Championship then it is Finn Balor himself. WWE still owes Balor a proper rematch for the Universal Championship, which "The Demon King" had to vacate back in 2016.
