KANSAS CITY — Braun Strowman’s still mad, but a potential three-hour marathon of destruction turned into a fateful bit of horse-trading when Stephanie McMahon struck a borderline-unholy bargain with The Monster Among Men moments after he plowed through a Tag Team Battle Royal (not the first time he’s done that, funnily enough) set to determine Raw’s Tag Team Survivor Series captain.

Per their agreement, Strowman would receive a match against Acting General Manager Baron Corbin where he could pick the stipulation and The Lone Wolf signed a waiver absolving Strowman of the damage. After that, he gets a rematch with Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title, which Corbin had cost Strowman. In order for him to get those matches, however, Strowman has to help Raw defeat SmackDown LIVE at Survivor Series and prove his team-player bonafides by keeping These Hands off of The Lone Wolf until after WWE’s fall classic.

Stephanie claimed that the negotiation was just a way for her to bring out the best in Strowman — a bit of corporate-speak that quickly brought out Ronda Rousey instead. The Raw Women’s Champion assured her Commissioner that she didn’t need any more motivation before taking on Becky Lynch this Sunday, though she did heavily imply she was happy to take it out on Stephanie. Out came Corbin to calm things down, though he soon took the brunt of everybody's aggression: Rousey judo-threw Corbin to the mat, and while Strowman didn't lay hands on the Acting GM, he made it very clear that The Lone Wolf’s immunity had an expiration date.
