10 Wrestlers Who Are In The Wrong Role

6. Braun Strowman As A Monstrous Hero

Braun Strowman's returning presence as a babyface monster hellbent on teaching WWE's resident big and somewhat smaller baddies a lesson felt like a bit of a misstep from the second he ripped through an already laughable tag division.

And while it is worth noting how The Monster of all Monsters' recent showings have still produced a decent amount of big-man excitement in arenas and led to some rather unexpectedly monstrous YouTube numbers, there's still no doubt a ton more money to be made from the colossal force as a larger than life, unstoppable heel.

Jumping back to arguably Strowman's most electric and successful stint in the business to date, the sight of the absolute wrecking ball villain causing chaos backstage from 2017-2018 via the flipping of vehicles and ripping down of equipment felt like a far better use of his freakish strength and short fuse.

And with Strowman once again legitimately pissing off some corners of the locker room with his latest ill-advised Twitter remarks on "floppy floppers", perhaps leaning into that real-life animosity and having Strowman target some of the roster's fan-favourite high-flyers with his powerful antics of old could ultimately stock SmackDown with a genuinely detestable powerhouse heel once again.

Anything beats a roaring babyface bully attempting to put on "47-star" classics, I suppose.
