6 potential scenarios for Braun Strowman's WWE return
The Monster Among Men was taken out of his Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble, with the rumors stating that the reason behind his withdrawal from the event wasn't because of his elbow injury, but instead it was apparently because Vince McMahon didn't want Braun Strowman to take another loss to Lesnar, as he has previously lost twice to The Beast already.
If this is the case, then that was clearly a smart decision from the WWE as Strowman is a superstar that needs victories in order to stay true to his character of chaos. Another loss to Lesnar would've damaged Strowman's aura.
But with Strowman being out of the title picture after destroying Vince McMahon's limo, there are many different avenues to take with his return. Here are 5 scenarios in which Strowman can make a successful return.
#6 Tag Team with Lars Sullivan
The truth of the matter is Strowman doesn't need to be in a tag team due to the fact that he is his own man. And we've seen that previously before when he teamed up with Nicholas to defeat The Bar for the Raw Tag Team Championships at Wrestlemania 34.
But with Lars Sullivan set to make his arrival onto the main roster, having him in a potential tag team with Strowman would do wonders for both men. Having two specimens teaming up to destroy the Raw tag team division would definitely be interesting for the viewers to see.
And with rumors of Sullivan having issues with anxiety, maybe having someone who is comfortable in the main roster environment like Strowman could possibly do wonders for Sullivan's career in an attempt to boost his confidence.
Most importantly, it could set up as the perfect gateway for a potential rivalry between Strowman and Sullivan, with the two men going their separate ways. It would be a great opportunity to get Sullivan over as a heel by turning on Strowman in the future if the two were to ever team up.
This tag team could even be a brief one, giving Strowman something to do whilst not being in the Universal Championship picture.
When Sullivan debuted on NXT, we saw him team up with various tag team partners before destroying them after each match due to the fact that they would constantly lose. Maybe this could be the storyline they implement for Sullivan on Raw, before he eventually finds the perfect partner in Strowman? It would definitely be an intriguing direction to go in.
