10 Quick WWE Fixes To Save Braun Strowman

7. Crossing The Divide

James Ellsworth famously managed to earn a full-time living with WWE after taking a complete pasting at the hands of Braun Strowman early in the 'Monster Among Men's 2016 Raw reintroduction, but he could return the favour to his ginormous foe by taking a blue brand beating as part of Strowman's path of rage.

Within the modern WWE framework, turning up on the opposing brand unannounced can still be considered anarchic, and it's exactly that sort of rebellion Braun needs to find as he attempts to rapidly re-scale the WWE ladder.

There are others beyond Ellsworth of course, but a humorous reunion of the pair backstage would be a welcome callback to one of the more successful squashes in company history. Beyond James, Braun could spend weeks terrorising SmackDown Live! talents despite the best efforts of Kurt Angle to drag him back to Monday Night Raw.

Following usual form on Tuesday Nights, only Shane McMahon will be positioned as tough enough to stand up to the 'Monster Among Men', but the slaughter he'd endure at Braun's hands would at least justify his eventual inclusion in the angle.
