The Wyatt Sicks to expand, unlikely tag team with former rival? - 4 directions for Braun Strowman when he returns to WWE
WWE is always prone to injuries because of the nature of the company. Pro wrestling is inherently dangerous even when moves are performed as safely as possible. As a result, a constant influx of talent is out and returning at any given time.
One superstar who has been out for a while now is Braun Strowman. The Monster Of All Monsters suffered a groin injury during a Last Monster Standing Match on RAW. Despite being hurt early into the bout, he fought through the pain and even won.
Good news for fans of the former Universal Champion: His return may be on the horizon. According to reports, he is cleared and 100%, which means a television return is likely imminent.
This article will look at a handful of possible directions for The Monster of All Monsters if he is returning to television soon. This includes joining a hated stable, forming a new alliance, and chasing after a major world title. What might Braun do if he returns?
#4. Braun Strowman could join The Wyatt Sicks upon returning to WWE
The Wyatt Sicks are one of the more intriguing stables on WWE television. The group comprises five stars, with Uncle Howdy as the leader. He is joined by creepy names such as Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and Nikki Cross.
The Uncle Howdy-led group is feuding with The Final Testament and The Miz. To the shock of many WWE fans, they were laid out by Kross, Akam, Rezar, Scarlett, and The A-Lister on RAW this week.
If the Wyatt Sicks need backup, Braun could be the perfect person to bring in. He has a history of teaming up with Erick Rowan and was a disciple of Bo Dallas' older brother, the late-great Bray Wyatt. Braun aligning himself with the dangerous faction makes a lot of sense.
#3. He could join The Final Testament
The Final Testament is another stable on WWE Monday Night RAW. Former NXT Champion Karrion Kross is the leader of the group, but he is joined by The Authors of Pain's Akam & Rezar, Scarlett, and Paul Ellering. They are a devious faction, primarily thanks to Kross' antics.
While it would be great to see Braun Strowman reunite with Erick Rowan and company, he could take a different path in WWE. Upon his return to programming, the big man could instead unite with the foes of The Wyatt Sicks.
The Final Testament has been missing a key ingredient to reach the next level. Braun, a former world champion, could be what they need to reach new heights. If Kross leads Strowman, it would be bad news for The Wyatt Sicks and the rest of the Monday Night RAW roster. This includes the champions of said brand.
#2. Braun could form a team with Bronson Reed
In recent memory, Bronson Reed has had one of the most exciting rises to the top of the WWE card. While he turned his wheels in place for the first year and a half of his return, things have been off to the races recently.
The big man is in a bitter feud with Seth Rollins, but in between his issues with The Visionary, he had an epic rivalry with Braun Strowman. This led to the two clashing in a Last Monster Standing Match as ultimate foes.
Those brutal fights, however, could have earned some degree of mutual respect. As a result, they could decide to team up. If they do, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh will likely lose the World Tag Team Championship to what could be the newest top team in all of World Wrestling Entertainment.
#1. He could challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship
Gunther is one of the most intimidating figures in WWE. Not only is he larger than most performers in the company, but he is hard-hitting and dominant in the ring. His accolades tell the story.
The Ring General debuted in WWE and almost immediately won the United Kingdom Championship. He held that title for longer than anyone and replicated the same success with the Intercontinental Title. Now he's the World Heavyweight Champion.
When Strowman returns to television, he could be Gunther's next opponent after Damian Priest. This, of course, is operating under the assumption that Priest won't win the gold. If he doesn't, The Monster Of All Monsters could be Gunther's next test.
