Once WWE realized Roman Reigns was going to have to be pulled from the main event of the upcoming TLC pay-per-view (PPV) this Sunday night in Minneapolis, they were forced to come up with a replacement that would ensure fans would still want to tune in despite not getting the Shield reunion they were promised. The result was adding current Raw General Manager and WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle.
To build to this, they’ve been releasing some promos, including this amazing video from Braun Strowman:

I don’t know whose idea it was to shoot him shirtless from that angle, but I am absolutely mesmerized.
