10 WWE Wrestlers Cursed At WrestleMania

10. Braun Strowman

Poor Braun Strowman. It was all so simple. He was a giant, and all WWE needed him to do was giant stuff. Alas, the company even messed that one up somehow.

For a better understanding of how WWE handled him, one needs to look no further than his WrestleMania appearances. His win-loss record is nothing to fuss over, but his booking leaves much to be desired.

Aside from picking up the strap from Goldberg at WrestleMania 36, Strowman has been thrown to the wolves on a yearly basis rather than given a compelling feud to make him come off as a brick castle. Even his win against Bill was a last-minute decision.

At WrestleMania 33, all the big man was left to do was compete in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The following year, he selected referee John Cone’s son Nicholas as his tag team partner after randomly becoming the number one contender for the Raw Tag Team Championships. Despite winning, the reign was meaningless. At 35, Strowman was once again relegated to André match, although this time he won.

While ‘The Monster Among Men’ scores the occasional victory at WrestleMania, he rarely enters with a thought-out narrative, and his accomplishments rarely have a long-term bearing on regular programming. As of late, there have been rumblings of a Strowman vs Shane McMahon bout at ‘The Grandest Stage of Them All,’ which further goes to show that WWE has no idea what to do with their resident giant.
