6 Ups And 5 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2018
2. Braun Has A Night
It was ridiculous that Braun Strowman lost how he did, but as a consolation prize, he probably has the best night of anyone who didn’t win Sunday night.
Strowman eliminated five men from the Elimination Chamber: Elias, Miz, John Cena, Seth Rollins and Finn Balor. It was a damn impressive showing (which made it all the worse when Roman Reigns beat him). While Braun lost the match, he should be able to ride that showing to a prominent spot on the WrestleMania card in six weeks. (Or he could end up in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal again.)
Sooner or later, WWE is going to have to cash in on Braun and the reaction he gets from fans. A monster tweener who attacks everyone equally could do quite well for himself on the mountaintop, and it’s fun to watch everyone try to topple him at once.
