On the April 18th episode of Monday Night Raw, Big Show and Braun Strowman put on a hell of a match with a finale that had the crowd on their feet and the ring smashed into the ground. Strowman suplexed The World Largest Athlete off the 2nd rope. The force and the weight of the two men was so powerful that the ring collapsed and poor referee John Cone was thrown from the ring.

Taz and BamBam
In ECW Taz and Bam Bam Bigelow beat themselves to a pulp. Taz began choking out BamBam and jumping on his back. The Beast from the East could only think of one way of getting the Human Suplex Machine off of him.
