4-time WWE champion vows to become Grand Slam Champion; wants to win the United States Championship
Becoming a WWE Grand Slam Champion marks a superstar in a higher category than the rest of the roster. Recently, former Universal Champion Braun Strowman vowed to earn that title and wants to go after the United States Championship, currently held by Logan Paul.
A few years ago, Braun Strowman won several titles in the Stamford-based promotion. Apart from holding the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship with Nicolas and Seth Rollins, The Monster Among Men did capture the Intercontinental and Universal Championships while on the blue brand.
In an interview with Ten Count Media, Strowman expressed his desire to hold gold in WWE and vowed to become a Grand Slam Champion. Moreover, the 40-year-old star has eyes set on the United States Championship, currently under Logan Paul's belt on Friday Night SmackDown.
"All but one; that US title that Logan Paul's has been running around with. That's the elusive thing keeping me from being a grand slam champion," Strowman said. [From 13:30 to 13:44]

The Monster Among Men has to wait a bit longer as the star and the title that he aims for are on a different brand.
United States Champion Logan Paul is set to compete on WWE SmackDown
Last year, Logan Paul won the United States Championship from The Master of 619 in Saudi Arabia and held his first championship in the Stamford-based promotion. He became a regular on Friday Night SmackDown, with sporadic appearances on the red brand.
Given the star's celebrity status, The Maverick appeared on Friday Night SmackDown with the title and cut promos. However, he didn't compete on the brand until, this year, heading into WrestleMania XL.
Earlier this year, he defeated his former rival, The Miz, in a one-on-one match and qualified for the Men's Elimination Chamber match in Perth. Recently, it was announced that The Maverick is set to have a Money in the Bank Qualifying match.
On the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown emanating from Madison Square Garden, Logan Paul will face LA Knight and Santos Escobar in a Triple Threat match to qualify for the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder match in Canada. It remains to be seen how the match will pan out for the star.
