10 WWE Wrestlers That Bumped The Best For Braun Strowman

The mastery of Roman Reigns' bumping for Braun Strowman wasn't just in how he flung himself around like a jobber when he could have had a far greater ego as the company's top star, but in how he committed to everything in order to get his colleague over too.

Strowman and Reigns' enduring rivalry mirrored the 1996 programme between Mankind and The Undertaker in the way the new monster had arrived to take out the yard's biggest dog, not least because in both cases they both succeeded.

Ignoring how both programmes concluded in hugely differing Hell In A Cell matches a year after their peak, the 2017 brawls between the pair were luscious movie stunt brawls that surely had Vince McMahon salivating at the thought of one or both of them definitively going over Brock Lesnar even though he wouldn't f*cking book it when the time f*cking came.

Consider the gif above, or the entirety of their Fastlane '17 banger, or the post-WrestleMania run that birthed 'The Big Dog' getting tipped over in anything with wheels. This was the right starmaking action adventure television with the right stars at the right time. Shame on WWE for settling on the reduced versions of both men that eventually re-broke the glass ceiling.
