Usually the money on the contract winner cashes in on another's dirty work. But I could see Strowman doing something insane to the champion himself and then cash in. Still a heel tactic and not how you want to have someone win his first world title if he's being booked as a babyface (or babyface-leaning tweener/juggernaut as is the case with Braun). Honestly, I'm expecting to see Heyman start insisting on behalf of his client that Braun has to be booked on every single card that Lesnar is to ensure that he's not able to just sit fresh. If they don't do Braun vs Brock at SummerSlam, they pretty much have to do Brock vs Roman and have Braun cash in a la Rollins, but do so at the start of the match - like, legitimately, let the fans start to crap on the match like you know they will and just as the introductions are finishing up... "BRAUUUUUUUUUN!" Crowd will go nuclear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mostly on the whole, don't call a duo a stable bit. The heel and face dynamic works great I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovable, humorous giant works. Lovable, humorous, but stupid enough to be taken advantage of by a girl the size of an ant to him? That makes your babyface champion look weak which is the absolute last thing you want with a giant. Plus, unless you hook Braun up with someone else, how exactly does she get her comeuppance since there's no way in hell she's going to "get the hands"?

animaltested Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 30 plus years of storytelling, and wrestling still relies on moving storylines along by making the face an incompetent moron with the memory of a goldfish. Its where suspension of disbelief goes to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be the same guy he is now just with a thing with Bliss. It can be something unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing cause Carmella just held the contract for almost a year we may see a same night cash in. Say Ronda gets the arm bar. Someone nails Ronda with the briefcase then finishes Nia off. Raw generally doesn't have a lot of actual lady feuds at the moment so this could kick start a couple while protecting Nia and Ronda Lol I totally nailed this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 No surprise to see Alexa win the briefcase and win the women's title back for RAW. As to the men, bit surprised to see Strowman win. I thought the Miz would have won it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I don't think that there were any real surprises in the night. I thought there was a 95%+ chance that Braun Strowman would win the mens money in the bank match. Overall, I thought it was a decent show overall. Putting the belt back on Alexa gives them a couple of different storylines while before they put the belt on Rousey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NcFinest9erFan Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 So what happens to Nakamura now? I was rooting for him although I have zero issues with Styles winning/ending the feud. In hindsight, It wouldn't have made much sense for Styles to lose the belt and still be 2k19 cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Personally with Nakamura, I'd transition him into more of a mean heel vs the comedy heel. Though, he could still do some low blows, just not only win by that. Then set him up against Jeff Hardy for the US title and let that be the first title that he holds. Then maybe let him lose it and change brands or bring the Intercontinental title over and let him get that as well and by next Summer Slam or or two Royal Rumbles from now, let him get the title. And if he continues to be over as a heel and have good writing done for him, you can speed up the timeline and have him get the title at Wrestlemania next year.
