Braun Strowman continued his run of dominance Monday night on Raw, eliminating Sami Zayn to secure a spot on Raw's Survivor Series roster.

WWE showed how Strowman earned the victory:

With the win, Strowman joined Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho and Roman Reigns on Raw's team. 

Bo Dallas, R-Truth, Darren Young, Cesaro and Sheamus were among those also involved in the Battle Royal match, with each of them getting eliminated before the Strowman vs. Zayn showdown.

Cesaro eliminated his tag team partner, Sheamus, via WWE:

Since moving away from Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan of The Wyatt Family because of the brand split, Strowman has run roughshod over everyone in front of him on Raw.

Strowman primarily faced enhancement talent in squash matches, but after imploring Raw general manager Mick Foley to give him better competition, he began to beat two and even three wrestlers at the same time.

The mountain of a man still wasn't satisfied, which prompted Zayn to step up to the plate and make it known that he wouldn't back down.

With a potentially dangerous challenger finally in front of him, Strowman made it known that he is still the one who needs to be feared:

Despite that, Zayn remained aggressive and was determined to knock Strowman down a peg even though he found himself at a huge disadvantage in terms of size and strength.

The Underdog from the Underground was ready and willing to have a match against Strowman on the go-home edition of Raw prior to Sunday's Hell in a Cell, but the monstrous Superstar dismissed Zayn and the challenge he presented, per WWE Universe:

Zayn attempted to get Strowman's attention by slapping him, but that only served to anger the big man, who left Zayn lying after throwing him into the barricade.

Strowman sports an undefeated record since getting drafted to Raw, while Zayn's time on the main roster has been a roller-coaster ride.

Although he has experienced some significant highs, such as beating Owens at Battleground in a contender for match of the year July 24, he has also been on the wrong end of some lows, primarily because of a lack of focus on him by the creative team.

Zayn proved to be an elite all-around performer during his time in NXT and on the independent scene, but WWE has been reluctant to give him a sustained push.

The Canadian Superstar was destined to be Strowman's first big-name victim as WWE opted to continue developing Strowman into a potential top heel. It will be interesting to see how WWE handles Strowman now that he'll be teaming up with some of Raw's biggest names in an effort to take down the SmackDown brand at Survivor Series on Nov. 20.
