BRAAAAAAAAAAUN!

One can already see those tweets if Adam Scherr popped back up on Raw as burly bruiser Braun Strowman. Like AOP, there'd be a bit of short-term buzz if the ex-Universal Champ showed back up to launch into a feud with someone like Roman Reigns or Drew McIntyre (assuming McIntyre is getting the belt).

It shouldn't happen though. Strowman's giant quota has been filled by Omos, and WWE would find diminishing returns might hamper his return anyway. In-ring, the company burned through all of the destructive, wrecking ball chaos they could think of; they even gave the guy f*cking "Choo! Choo!" train noises towards the end, for crying out loud.

Braun has never been the most adept on the mic either. His talking mountain approach is forced and often accidentally comedic, and that'd be problematic if WWE wanted him to be taken seriously. The ship has very much sailed on Strowman as a going concern for this company.
