You have to rip the championship away from the beast. You have to take what belongs to Brock Lesnar. Paul says this reminds him of Brock Lesnar in 2002 when the Next Big Thing took care of Rock, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Rob Van Dam, and the Undertaker.
Tonight. Braun Strowman is going to try to victimize John Cena. Will Braun monsterhandle John Cena? Are you badder than the baddest dude on the planet. Braun, are you ready to cross the border from the safety of sports entertainment into the hostile place known as Suplex City.
