Reason Braun Strowman Didn’t Appear on Monday’s RAW

Dave Meltzer mentioned on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio that the reason Braun Strowman was not at Monday’s RAW is because the company is trying to make a concerted effort to keep the physicality between him and Brock Lesnar to a minimum before their match at the upcoming WWE No Mercy event.

Strowman will return to RAW next week but Lesnar will not be in attendance so there will be no confrontation there. However, the week after that, both wrestlers are scheduled to be appearing on the same show.
