WWE Raw preview (Mar. 8, 2021): Smash and gab

The Headliner
You’d have a hard time convincing someone who just started watching, but if we turn the clock back to 2017 - Braun Strowman was the hottest guy in wrestling.
A few years of bad booking decisions and a couple runs at the top that exposed how limited he is as a performer, and we have the less charismatic Big Show we see on television right now.
WWE is trying to recapture some of Braun’s old magic with one of their old tricks. Since moving to Raw after his feud with Bray Wyatt last summer, they’ve worked to present the Monster Among Men as an alignment neutral character who’s mostly just here to kick ass. Stopping him from moving up the card so he can kick more ass is Shane McMahon.
