On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, Braun Strowman delivered a brutal attack on Roman Reigns. The Big Dog was scheduled for an interview with Michael Cole where he was supposed to talk about his monumental win against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
But, it never started properly since Strowman came down to the set and started throwing him around.
Although the WWE officials started to prohibit him from delivering the onslaught, he kept coming back on numerous occasions to punish Roman Reigns.
The series of attacks have witnessed Strowman putting Reigns through tables, hitting him with a Power Slam on crates, throwing him from a loaded deck, and lastly tipping over an ambulance with Reigns inside it.

It was evident that Reigns might have suffered severe injuries following the assault. WWE.com gave updates stating that he is dealing with a cracked rib and a dislocated shoulder after the incident. Check out the full updates given:
LONG ISLAND, N.Y. — Roman Reigns was brutally ambushed by Braun Strowman on Raw Monday night, resulting in cracked ribs, internal injuries, and a possible separated shoulder.
“After The Monster Among Men’s initial attack, which culminated in Reigns being thrown off a loading dock while strapped to a gurney, The Big Dog was loaded into an ambulance by EMTs. However, Strowman reappeared and continued the brutality by tipping over the emergency vehicle with The Big Dog still inside it.
Reigns was then rushed to a local medical facility in a second ambulance for evaluation. Strowman meanwhile was forced to leave Long Island, New York’s Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.”
These two have indulged in a feud since last year’s Survivor Series which is supposed to end at the upcoming Payback PPV on April 30. As per the latest updates, they will battle it out to determine the number one contender for the WWE Universal championship.
The injury suffered by reigns is not legit, supposedly since it is all part of the ongoing storyline. The kayfabe work was pencilled by the creative to gain some sympathy for the face of the company after the crowd literally at him alive, last week.
This attack is going to shelve him for sometimes and we should not expect him to be present on Raw, next week. This would also help to die down the backlash among the fans after Reigns retired the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 33.
