9 Things That Must Happen At WWE TLC 2017

3. Braun Smash

WWE has done a remarkable job of making a star out of Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men was the 48th pick of the WWE Draft, going later than The Ascension, Summer Rae and Darren Young, but Strowman has been pushed to the moon ever since. A one-F5 loss to Brock Lesnar may have been considered disappointing, but compare it to working meaningless multi-man matches with Tommy Dreamer. Strowman is a star.

Braun has had his way with the majority of the RAW roster in 2017, and has victories over all three members of The Shield. He has also shown that he can excel in these garbage-type matches. WWE needs to give Strowman a free license to throw The Shield around, showcasing his unmatchable power and terrifying dynamism.

Braun Strowman is the real dilemma of this match. The Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus and Kane have all been neutered over the years to the point where losing a handicap match with the numbers on their side won’t make a difference. It may make a difference to Strowman, so protecting the big man is absolutely imperative.

This is easily done. Strowman will throw his foes around like rag dolls, before eventually meeting his demise by running through something on the outside. It is the tried and true Braun way.
