10 Things That Must Happen Before WrestleMania 36
9. A Monster Rebuilt
Braun Strowman isn't dead, nor is he on life support, but he doesn't feel half as special as he did in 2017. It's time to change that.
'The Monster Among Men' needs to be presented as a true threat, not a comic book character, if he's to get back to something close to his old level. That means no more feuds with Saturday Night Live goobers, no more vehicular destruction, and no more title reigns with 10-year-old tag team partners. WWE must tap into the old Strowman. They must harness the unstoppable hulk that rose to prominence in his underrated feud with Roman Reigns, and was still showing signs of indomitable power as recently as Money In The Bank 2018, when he took the men's briefcase despite a concerted effort against him. Sadly, WWE's follow-up to that victory brought out the worst in Strowman again.
Braun's reactions used to be among the company's loudest. They're still loud, if diminished by overexposure and shoddy presentation. This shows that there's still plenty of scope for a rebuild job, so how about the big man goes undefeated for the rest of 2019, breaks into WWE's special roster tier, and wins the 2020 Royal Rumble?
