Decent TV Raw this week.
I don't like that Braun is forced to find a tag team partner though. Man is exactly what WWE needs but somehow they seem to want to limit his popularity.
I don't think they are limiting his popularity so much as saving him for the post-Lesnar era. He's a bona-fide star, and will easily slide into a world title position when they need him to.
I think in the short term, they just want to see how he rolls as a babyface before they decide what direction to use him in.
This tag team thing is going to be a short part of his career I think. It'll be some way to give an older star a quick run (Mark Henry maybe?), or to play with an odd couple pairing with some rando jobber or cruiserweight.
I almost think it could be a great place to stick Kurt Hawkins. Just have Braun refuse to let him participate in any match, until he gets sick of it, tags himself in, and causes them to lose the belts.
