Three is greater than two, which is greater than one. And, as it turns out, Braun Strowman has no problem defeating any number of local competitors Raw General Manager Mick Foley lines up to face him. “The Abominable Strowman” annihilated a team called The Mile-High Trio, before announcing his intentions to take his continued frustration out on Foley himself.

And then Sami Zayn, of all people, charged to the ring and went face-to-face with the monstrous Superstar. He caught a two-handed shove out of the ring for his troubles, but not before Strowman nodded in apparent satisfaction with the challenge that had presented itself. Zayn, meanwhile, seemed more than game for the fight, and though he may well come to regret it down the line, he offered a succinct explanation backstage for why he answered Strowman’s challenge: “Because nobody else will.”

Braun Strowman destroys three local competitors before Sami Zayn comes out to get in his face.
