12 Wrestlers Who Suffered The Most From WWE WrestleMania 36

1. Braun Strowman

How can a star who just won a world title be classed as one of the key sufferers coming out of 'Mania 36?

Hear me out.

After Roman Reigns made the smart decision to pull out of his Universal title match with Goldberg on the Grandest Stage, Braun Strowman was quickly shoved into the main event spot.

Could substitute Strowman shock the world and conquer 'Da Man' at this year's Show of Shows?

You're damn right he could!

Strowman weathered a storm of spears and eventually obliterated the veteran with a few running power slams, earning his first ever WWE world title in the process.

What a moment.

Unfortunately for him, though, this entire situation just screamed quick fix solution. Goldberg was clearly not sticking around after 'Mania and Reigns was next in line for the throne. With him out of the picture, WWE just needed another star to keep the belt warm until 'The Big Dog' stepped back into his yard.

Strowman may not have technically suffered on the night, but you can bet that he will at the hands of a returning Reigns further down the road.

In reality, this win could do more harm than good for the 'Monster Among Men' in the long run.

We love teamwork! Who doesn't? This article is a collaborative effort between Andy H Murray and Gareth Morgan.
