10 Recently Revealed WWE Ideas That Were Pitched And Went Nowhere
2. Braun Strowman Flips A Ring
Braun Strowman has lifted some heavy objects and opponents in his time. He has suplexed Big Show off the top rope and flipped over ambulances, limos and TV trucks. And Strowman had an idea that could top everything he'd done previously.
'The Monster Among Men' revealed that he pitched an idea to WWE that had him flipping a ring filled with wrestlers in a Battle Royal match. The idea being he’d lift up the ring to eliminate the other competitors, which sounds brilliant:
“I’ve pitched a couple of times in battle royales where I come out of nowhere and lift up the ring and dump everybody out of the ring before, so that I think would be a fun one. I don’t think there’s much left to flip unless I ripped a whole roof off the stadium or something like that. I think I’ve destroyed about everything they’ve put in front of me. And Lord knows I’m glad I don’t have to pay for all the stuff that I break.”
It’s hard to fathom why WWE didn’t go ahead with this, maybe fearing it would be a difficult feat to pull off in front of a live crown, especially with those ringside. Maybe in this global health crisis, with paid audiences totalling zero, would be the perfect time to execute this.
