7 Ways WWE Could Reinvent Braun Strowman
3. Better Feuds
After Strowman hasn't exactly been impactful on his two trips to WrestleMania, Braun still seems to have high hopes for the future. He was quoted by Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated as saying, "I will main-event WrestleMania," and "hopefully more than once on my way to a Hall of Fame career."
Big dreams for an equally big man. And interestingly enough, he wants that match to be at WrestleMania 36 against Drew McIntyre. What a feud that could be.
Which is something we haven’t been able to say very often about Braun. As stated before, his only real opponents have been Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar. And both of those ended up being short lived for one reason or another.
More importantly, Braun needs to actually win these big feuds. Him finishing Lashley in that epic Last Man Standing match at Extreme Rules was a good first step. But now we need to let him actually walk.
For too long the story has been that everywhere but on pay-per-view Braun is the “Monster Among Men”. Yet when it comes time for him to live up to that legend, he is merely a mortal man with a big stature. This needs to change if Braun will ever be the megastar he has the potential to be.
In fact, with Brock Lesnar going down to Seth, there may be a time for a new version of Lesnar to be created. And as Ric Flair so famously said, “to be the man, you have to beat the man.”
