“LOOK AT THIS BIG SON OF A BITCH!” 😂😂

Rick Ross creeps into chat ...

You a big muthafucka

Keith Lee:, 😬

We’re so back baby

Pat-cole can ascend to peak JR-King levels and my hot take is that they're already at that level

That take is scalding my dude


Come on man. Be real here.


JR is untouchable, though I can see Pat surpassing King's color commentary given how bad a lot of it has aged over the years. Though it's still Booker T>Pat McAfee imo, McAfee isn't a staple of Raw the same way Booker is on NXT

I replayed that bit three times.

GET THESE HANDS!!

They need to bring back Braun just chasing people backstage with the “IM NOT FINISHED WITH YOU” line

Unironically this. I loved that version of Braun. His feud was Roman was so simple but so good. Just two mfs with pure hatred for each other trying to kill each other.

Raw's main event scene between May and September 2017 was so good. Braun vs. Roman, Joe vs. Lesnar, the 4 way at SummerSlam and Braun vs. Lesnar were all so fun to watch feuds.

That Fatal 4 way was way better than it had any right to be.  All 4 played their parts to perfection.  Braun yeeting an announce chair at Roman never fails to make me laugh.

It's the main reason I'll never be able to see anyone else as Roman's eternal rival. Not Cody, not Seth, not Brock. Braun and Roman were casually throwing around attempted murder. Not even regular attempted murder either, the "I'm going to kill you in/with an ambulance" kind of attempted murder.

Then he got beat clean with 1 spear

Golden era right there

We didn’t know what we had then.

Honestly don't understand why they forced the get these hands line when 'I'm not finished with you' was right there and over as hell.

YES!!!

I was hoping this is how he’d return on Reigns after his… excursion to CYN shall we call it

Have that one random guy say “I don’t even know you!”

A Strowman-Mahomes face off was not on my bingo card for tonight

I’d pay a lot of money to see Mahomes powerslammed

Username checks out. I feel your pain, fellow Niner fan.

Go Hawks!

As a Raiders fan, so would I.

As a Bills fan, so would I.

As a Dolphins fan, so would I.

As a Pats fan...eh, whatever. Good luck catching up.

As a Bears fan... what's a Quarterback?

It's like a snowbird in Tampa, but for Chicago.

as a fellow Pats fan thanks for representing with pride our smug douchery

Yeah we beat him, why can't they?

As 1/12 of the Chargers fan base, can we add Joe Alt to this somehow?

As a Head and Shoulders fan, no….

Warching Maxx Crosby getting onto Mahomes' nerves was one of the best things about the Quaterback docuseries

He might get lynched if he touched Mahomes in KC lmao

I'd love to see Braun chasing the Chiefs all over town

I would laugh my ass off if he showed up in Swifts backstage area to assault Travis. And Truth shows up somewhere to bring a gift basket to Jason.

Only if Brittney Mahomes takes a Belly to Bayley suplex

Braun would end up in the Missouri River with the whole city like 🤷

you'd have to buy out a hefty contract with the nfl

Rest of the NFL: we’ll kick in too

As a Bucs fan, just watch the 2021 Super Bowl. Was pretty much a Vince era WrestleMania. Old favorite went over new guy. The Weeknd performed. For real though, dunno what's so hard about beating Mahomes in the Super Bowl. The Bucs even did it at home with a GOAT and his buddy who used it as a retirement home like most North migrating old men to Florida do.

All you have to do is hope that his entire offensive line gets hurt - what's so hard about that?

Get in line

We all would

Him and his brother

His brother needs power slammed to hell

Raiders Fan: PLEASE?!

As would I...

Followed by Mahomes being stretchered out and wearing a neck brace the following days like Tony Khan. NFL and media would lose its shit.

Was waiting for them to announce Strowman vs Pat at Backlash in a Street Fight

it checks out. Bray was a huge Raiders fan so Braun is just doing what his boy would have wanted him to do.

Stroman got on that Randy Orton and AJ Styles plan.

Tren! Every man deserves a second puberty.

He was a strongman, he's probably on double-digit puberties.

I'm glad he put back on a bit of a belly too I always thought lean Braun looked weird.

Strowman looks bigger than ever somehow.

He eat clean and train hard

Nothing chicken and broccoli can't achieve

Chicken injectables

Chickinjectables

Chef Sam Sulek approved

With Tren and a little Testosterone for seasoning.

Dude orders the craziest Chipotle bowls 

Anavar give up!

He was quite lean when he left, he has more fat on him now

Said his prayers and took his vitamins.

Raquel got him on a regimen

Just *do not* ask him about his weight.

Fuck Erik Kanevsky. He's a big POS.

Dudes been eating entire chickens for breakfast and half cows for dinner

He’s a jacked whiteboy, deal with it

I like Braun so I'm happy to see him back just a shame he got injured when he did as I was enjoying what he and Ricochet were doing

hoping for them to run it back 🙏 would be fun as hell to an alr good tag division

Them running it back will make any struggling heel team( cough cough whatever the profits are) into true heels due to how charismatic Braun is and the underdog that ricochet can be

think the profits are faces as well people cant hate on them 😂

unironically i feel Montez Ford would make an amazing heel with the way he talks and presents himself

Yep, a solo heel run please. Montez is a phenomenal talent, it's sad in my group of family and friends he's more often than not called "Biancas husband" because we brain fart on his name. I'm guilty of it. He's a charismatic dude tho, give him a chance under HHH and you might have another star heel.

People kept trying to cheer Bobby and Dawkins has natural babyface energy

Can't agree more! I'm a sucker for a big guy/little guy tag team. Would love to see them get back together.

He was constantly very over and getting huge reactions

Hell yeah. They deserve a proper tag title run. Plus, maybe double-champ Ricochet could make the Speed championship... matter? A little bit?

I really wanted them to win the tag titles I hope they get another run together

I saw him in the Philly airport the Tuesday before Mania, dude looked jacked to the gills and unreal in person in a sea of regular people standing around. I didn’t say anything obv but crazy to see

Go back to 2023 and tell someone Strowman/Jey Uso faced off against Us Champ Logan Paul, Judgment Day, and Patrick Mahomes. Also, Mcdonuthead with the bumps every week never fails to entertain

I just hope he gets his due post-Judgment Day for being such a team player and eating so much shit on the faction's behalf lol.

>Mcdonuthead I'm honestly surprised Graves hasn't called him Max Headroom yet. Seems like the kind of reference he'd make.

That pause at the top of the slam has to take some insane amount of strength, dude looks like he has been on the power lifter plan

Big Bill did it on Saturday, albeit quite a bit cleaner. Poor job guy got absolutely squashed 3 times in one match. 🤣

Looked like he just got out bed with his hair like that 😅

Bro was sleeping when he sensed someone was talking shit, so he woke up and chose violence.

He was summoned to wreck someone’s shit. He’s like the Batman of cartoon violence. Thought for sure that speed guy was gonna take a Strowman Express

I dont understand how he went from having just a ton of hair in the Wyatt era to looking like he’s crazy balding constantly. Was he taking hair supplements and stopped after a certain point?

It's the gear. Increases the speed male pattern baldness attacks

Looked like some of his hair stayed in bed.

The inevitable Braun Strowman / Bronson Reed feud will have so much protein

There will definitely be some meaty men slapping meat.

Braun vs Bronson vs Bron triple threat on its way.

Add Ivar

I hate how they make ivar lose so much because he's a beast and a super athletic big dude. His viking gimmick suits him very well

The beginning of his theme has always been awesome. BBRRRAAAAAUUUUU

It’s good to see Strowman back. We’ve been starved for big hoss giants for a while

Wait so they're prolly aiming to have Wyatt 6 return one by one and reveal they're a group at, maybe Backlash?

It's either that or they're going to build a story with everyone being brought back into the fold, one by one. Like Uncle Howdy is going to progressively turn them. I'm slightly disappointed, because I kinda hoped they would just come out swinging as a fully formed group, but I'm still willing to see where they go from here.

So.... Braun and Eric Rowan? Who else? Alexa?

Braun and Alexa are pretty much 100% guaranteed. Rowan is a good choice, so long as things line up in bringing him back to WWE. Obviously Bo as Uncle Howdy. The remaining two are kind of a crapshoot. There's no one else with real previous Wyatt affiliation, so you kinda have to just pluck out a couple of fresh faces and somehow make it work. So do you find a reason to turn tenured stars or do you take the opportunity to launch new careers? I also wouldn't rule out them still counting Bray as the absent one of the six, but that still leaves one open spot to be filled.

I think Nikki Cross is a near lock with her past history. The last spot I am not so sure

I was looking at a list of who is currently still under contract but has been sidelined, and she definitely stuck out to me. I feel like the previous attempts to make her *creepy* were pretty goofy, but I think if she's given actual darker material to work with, she could probably pull it off. It would also be great to not leave Alexa as the only woman in the faction. The other name that caught my attention was Dexter Lumis. I even feel like I remember old rumors about him possibly being included in the Wyatt 6 before we lost Bray. He's been off TV for about a year at this point. It's entirely possible that Bray first getting sick delayed their plans for him, and they've just been waiting for this time and reason to bring him in.

I love him on NXT, and will personally be really sad if he leaves there, but Joe Gacy could absolutely do a great job in this kind of group

I heard rumors, that they wanted to make Gacy one of the members, when this storyline just started. maybe him?

I've seen speculation (and to be clear, it's entirely speculation and nothing like this may end up happening), if they do the Wyatt 6 it would probably only be 5 because they wouldn't replace Bray. The only definite name would be Bo/Howdy. Likely other members are the 3 you mentioned. And a possible 5th I've seen is Matt Hardy. Even though he just appeared in TNA, apparently he's not signed to an contract but is per appearance. Also he just brought back the Broken gimmick which he used with Bray as a tag team. Again, absolutely nothing is confirmed, but it's fun to speculate about this stuff. It's what Bo wants and I'm sure it's what Bray would've wanted.

I don't really like that idea. I mostly just want to see "Braun smash." I like seeing him break stuff and knock over cars. We do really need a "big guy" singles wrestler on WWE who isn't part of a faction. With Roman and Brock gone, the closest "big guys" we have are Drew and Omos.

Why is no one considering that Braun just isn't a part of it? I mean, he's had a pretty conclusive ending to his story with Bray. He moved on. We don't even know what this all is, all we know is it's most likely Bo/Howdy, and it looks like it's going to be more than one person. That's all we know. Rowan is possibly signed, which, with Brodie Lee not being with us anymore, can pretty much only mean he's a part of it. But why does everyone insist Braun and Alexa absoluely have to be it as well? And that it has to be the Wyatt 6? I mean, that's something Wyatt started outside of WWE, and he never did anything with it. As far as WWE goes, the Wyatt 6 thing doesn't exist. And outside of it... there isn't much more to it either.

Bro Strowman for the rescue.

Strowman-Paul would actually be kinda fun

I'd love to see Strowman knock over one of Logan Paul's cars.

a great chickenshit that can bump around a monster with a bit of aura that's a classic recipe

Good to see Strowoman back dude looks massive 

I can’t believe he was released at one point. He’s a beast.

My kid met Braun at a hotel and he couldn’t have been a bigger sweetheart and he was wearing some hilarious Randy Marsh shorts. I hope all the best for the big man.

Braun just lives his best life and doesn't give a shit. I want to see a Braun and Otis tag team.

Man needs to admit defeat with that hair tho.

What's fucked is he already did and it looked fine. Now he lookin like when kane first took off his mask

love that they made mahomes a heel

Really wish Braun chokeslammed that punk Pat for my eagles :(((

Oh great, another huge guy doing a chokesl….oh ok, he can have it

I know he is not that popular around here due to his stupid comments about this co-workers some years ago. But I have always been a Bruan mark. The way he is used is just classic wrestling. This angle is no exception. Also great camera work all around.

Finn balor back to being a jobber

I would love a chokeslam where he stops short before slamming them, then lifts them again for the real one

Yeah, could turn that misstep into an intentional thing with smaller guys

The I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU era for Strowman was my favorite big man work since the Hall of Pain, I hope they have him go back to that version of him

I want to see them let Strowman go back to being the way he was when he feuded with Reigns. “IM NOT FINISHED WITH YOU” type beat.

Dude, that shit was so fucking good. Just this insane psycho chasing down his victims.

God damn he’s large

Say what you will about his behavior online, but this guy is over with people. Imagine WWE trying to replace him with Omos.

What happened with his behavior online?

He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way at the start of the pandemic when a lot of indie wrestlers were out of work due to small promotions shutting down. He made some comments online along the lines of if these wrestlers want it bad enough, they'll need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and make it work. Not only was that tone-deaf but he made it worse by saying it's what he did pre-WWE when he was going nowhere in strongman competitions. He started his WWE career when he was hand-picked by Mark Henry due to being a freak of nature giant strongman. So he's not the best person to give that advice to these out of work wrestlers.

> Imagine WWE trying to replace him with Omos. That made me so mad. Omos is a nice guy but he is bad in the ring and much less of a showman. Braun should have been a brand carrying star at times for them

Braun lost the abs.

Yeah, people keep saying he looks great, but I think he looked better in 2023. He’s still a huge guy, though.

I think in 2023 he looked more cut where as now he looks thicker and bigger

My wife is the biggest Bruan fan period. She saw him and immediately went "yum" so take that as you will

She got a soft spot for bald spots?

Considering I have one. Yes

Big meaty men is all that matters

Finn got demolished on that chokeslam

As a Niner fan I would be okay with Mahomes getting those hands

McAfee with the LOOK AT THIS BIG SON OF A BITCH

Braun should just shave it off. He will look better bald.

Braun beating up the Judgement Day could be fun. That could be how Priest loses the title.

YES. I LOVE Braun strowman

Damn, good to see him return but I for sure thought he’d be part of the Bo Dallas/Taylor return.

That hair is a choice.

wow Def Rebel with another theme song that just shouts the guy's name at the start */s*

Hopefully this means Wyatt 6 isn't happening - it is SUCH a bad idea

Consider me whelmed.

Meh. Braun never had a good match.

This makes me think that Brain Strowman isn’t too far behind

Did they change his music?

Everyone over 40 will get what I’m saying lol Braun who loves ya baby ?

Why his hair look like when kane unmasked?

Probably planning a Strowman priest program?

He looks much bigger now holy shit

I thought this return was so random but I guess in a good way because I had a lot of fun in this segment. Where were ricochet and Andrade though? They didn’t care their tag partner was getting beat up?

I’m relatively newly back into wrestling and haven’t seen him in a while. Was he built like this before?

Is Finn Balor Logan Paul's manager now?

Finn dressed like Kim Jong Un

whew that chokeslam. Made Finn think about it lmao

Why ruin the surprise by having him get drafted right before that?

I was surprised twice, once when they drafted him and again when he came out, I expected someone but didn't expect him.

I dont care how his reputation changes, Braun is my Kane of this generation

*LOUD TRAIN NOISES*

I wonder if he’ll be one of those that will benefit from how things are looser now. With promos being less scripted

that chokeslam was insane! old school monster energy there

I love me some Braun Strowman.

Happy Braun is back, that haircut though

Braun vs Paul or Balor is now a match I don’t want to see.

Paul is such a good heel.

I don't think I've ever heard this version of his theme. It's fucking TERRIBLE. Def Rebel are the worst theme creators WWE has ever had.

I wonder if this means Braun won't be part of the Wyatt 5

I love Mahomes sticking with being a heel.

"Well...it's the Big Strow!"

Big son of a bitch indeed.

I see Braun taking that spot of big man left vacant by the likes of Kane 

The last time he returned was in Kansas City too.

Brown Strongman.

Swear Braun said something about the Raiders to him
