3 steps to make Braun Strowman the Universal Champion
Braun Strowman has been The Monster Among Men in the WWE for some time now. He has been hailed as the unstoppable force which has steamrolled everything that has crossed his path. He has become The Guy for the fans since the departure of Roman Reigns.
But in the last couple of months, he has been made into a joke by the company, thereby decreasing his value. All he does now is run around chasing superstars, chasing cars, and chasing titles. He has just failed to receive the final push from the company.
At Crown Jewel, he was squashed by Brock Lesnar after being attacked by Baron Corbin, which protected him from a clear loss, but still affected his overall image. Since then he has been chasing Baron Corbin, but has been unable to exact his revenge.
Before that, he was ready to take on Drew McIntyre, but that storyline was seemingly cut short and washed away by the WWE, as the two men will be on the Raw Survivor Series team together, and there seems to be no tension between them right now.
The WWE now needs to protect the big man and once again build him as a dominant force, as that is what the shows needs at the moment. The WWE Universe does not want another monster to end up like Kane at the end of the day, and underachieve despite having all the potential in the world.
After careful analysis of his current character and status in the WWE, we have formulated 3 steps in which the WWE could focus on making Braun Strowman a dominant force once again, while also pushing other superstars forward to bring them parallel to him.
#3 Baron Corbin vs Braun Strowman - The Spark
Braun Strowman has been thrown into a mix of different feuds, and it’s almost impossible to figure out which man on the red brand he is after the most. One week it’s Drew McIntyre, the next it is Brock Lesnar, and then comes Baron Corbin. Raw needs to clear this mess up for the sake of his character.
The Monster Among Men has already been granted a title match against Brock Lesnar by Stephanie McMahon. He has also been granted a match against Baron Corbin, which will take place sometime before his title match.
Baron Corbin should take the help of Drew McIntyre in his match against Strowman, and the two men together should kayfabe injure him. After all, Corbin is the heel authority figure, and McIntyre has gotten a few pushes from him. This would give the big man some time away to heal his injuries, and also build upon a bigger story for him.
In return for McIntyre’s assistance, Baron Corbin could award him Strowman’s place in the title match against Lesnar, which will most probably come at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs 2018 (TLC 2018).
