There was a lot of confusion a few weeks ago when The Big Show seemed to suggest that he would be the first entrant in the Royal Rumble. Show actually meant that he was the first guy to throw his name into the hat, not necessarily that he would be #1. Last week on Raw, his match with Ryback was thrown out quickly when The Wyatt Family invaded. Going face-to-face with Braun Strowman, Show was then soundly thrashed by The Wyatts. It seems Bray and clan have entered themselves into the Rumble as well, and the idea of Strowman vs. Big Show was teased. Truthfully, the match probably wouldn't be a technical masterpiece, but WWE have been obsessed with pitting giant men against one another. There's a good chance that will happen again on the coming episode of Monday Night Raw. If the company are serious about turning Braun Strowman into a singles success, he needs a lot more experience. In other words, Strowman needs to live or die on what he does in one-on-one encounters. A short, dominating power display against Big Show seems to be something WWE might book.
