RAW 9 Jan 2017: Braun Strowman attacked U.S. Champion Roman Reigns
NEW ORLEANS — Roman Reigns’ odds of retaining
his United States Title went from rough to near-insurmountable over the
course of about five minutes in the beginning of Raw when Braun
Strowman came to the ring to exact revenge on The Big Dog for last
week’s double Spear. The Monster Among Men picked a hell of a time to
make his move, as the bell hadn’t even tolled on Reigns’ U.S. Title
defense against Jeri-KO when Strowman came calling. The Gift of
Destruction’s assault was thankfully cut short by the arrival of Seth
Rollins, whom Strowman had been fighting backstage before Raw even
started in earnest.
Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon — who was in the middle of
evaluating Mick Foley when Strowman broke loose — made her entrance
right as the chairs came out and managed to salvage the debacle by
sanctioning the immediate matchup of Rollins vs. Strowman. She also gave
Reigns till later in the night to prepare for a reset of his title
defense, but that might all be for naught. Thanks to Strowman, Reigns’
handicap might have gone from metaphorical to literal.
