5 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Oct 8)

3. Braun Strowman Looks Strong

There are rumours that WWE may build Braun Strowman for a match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania. A lot of wrestling enthusiasts are understandably tentative on the idea, because Braun is pretty new on the scene. However, the promotion are doing a great job of making him appear intimidating and strong every time he shows up on television. That statement rang true on Smackdown. Teaming with Bray Wyatt to face the team of Randy Orton and Roman Reigns, Strowman looked like a beast whenever he entered the ring. The key to the big man's development may be to restrict his involvement. That may sound strange, but he should never be shown as weak, especially if he's being considered for a program opposite 'Taker. Smackdown is the perfect breeding ground for that aforementioned development. Braun Strowman can hone his skills in tag-team matches, which the Thursday night show seems to excel at presenting in main event situations. After a spell, he can then begin appearing in straight singles bouts, which will theoretically help him progress at a quicker rate.
