10 WWE Wrestlers In Danger Of Missing Out On WrestleMania 41

7. Braun Strowman

Someday, Jacob Fatu will look back on his brutal beatdown of one Braun Strowman at the latest Saturday Night's Main Event and smile. That was a star-making night for the ex-New Bloodline monster, and it isn't one anyone should take for granted. Braun used to be the one dishing out that kind of wrecking ball punishment, but his best days as an unstoppable giant are likely well behind him now.

2025 will see Strowman enhance more of Triple H's new generation of WWE stars. Bron Breakker is a possibility if Braun ever goes to Raw again, for example. Imagine Strowman taking one of those spears iShowSpeed did?! That'd be some visual. Lately, getting others over has been the big man's core purpose. He made Bronson Reed look violent and reckless, did the same with Fatu, and now Braun can...sit in catering at WrestleMania?

Yeah, unless something dramatic happens between February-April, he has next to no chance of being on the Saturday or Sunday main cards. Another Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on SmackDown could be the guy's future, and that's only if Trips fancies running one of Vince McMahon's old 'get everyone involved in the 'Mania feel' tropes at all. 

Strowman's fans shouldn't be too down about any of this. He's had his time as the go to monster on the roster. Burly Braun still has some value as a star maker (evidently), but he isn't a focal point for creative in 2025. He's another who will surely do a lot of talking about the importance of 'Mania without actually appearing outside basic cameos.
