How can any self-respecting wrestling fan not enjoy Braun Strowman? He's one of the most entertaining wrestlers in the world at the moment, the most convincing monster character WWE have built in years, and a major highlight on Monday Night Raw.

Braun obviously has the size and power required for such a role, but he supplements it with surprising athleticism and an endearing level of charisma. Whether Braun's toppling ambulances or throwing Brock Lesnar around like a rag doll, it's impossible to divert your eyes from whatever he's doing. The guy's a magnetic presence whenever he's onscreen, and the past year has seen him go from The Wyatt family's third most interesting member to one of WWE's hottest acts.

The company couldn't be doing a better job with Strowman. He has lost a few matches, but he's always quick to regain his momentum, and there are times when he looks close to unstoppable. The upcoming match with Brock Lesnar could easily have headlined WrestleMania 34 had WWE not leaped ahead and booked it for No Mercy, but should still be an awesome slugfest regardless, particularly if their one-on-one chemistry is as strong as their interactions in SummerSlam's main event suggested.
