On tonight’s episode of Raw, 16 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena & the #1 contender for the Universal Championship, “The Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman, faced each other for the first time ever (it wasn’t the main event of the evening though).
During the ending moments of the match, Cena hit Strowman with an Attitude Adjustment, but Strowman managed to roll out of the ring. Then Strowman attacked Cena with Steel Ring Steps, but somehow the referee doesn’t disqualify Strowman.
Strowman then delivered a running Powerslam on Cena on the Steel Steps in the ring and the referee finally disqualifies Strowman. Cena got destroyed by Strowman, but he won the match…via DQ.

Earlier in the night, Roman Reigns (Cena’s No Mercy 2017 opponent) defeated Jason Jordan and then Cena & Reigns had another round of mic-war after the match.

Also, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman came out to address Braun Strowman. Strowman interrupted them and a brawl broke out. Lesnar delivered a German Suplex on Strowman, but it didn’t do anything to Strowman.
Strowman then delivered a Chokeslam and a running Powerslam to make a huge statement once again!
