2. Braun Strowman

'The Monster Among Men' became 'The King of Things' on Monday Night Raw in 2017, babyfacing himself with acts of violence and destruction so great he became impossible to boo. That so many of the assaults were at Roman Reigns' expense implies that the company were keen to generate those cheers as soon as possible.

Despite not yet ascending to WWE's summit, Strowman seems set to be top dog sooner or later. A successful cash-in attempt on Brock Lesnar at the earliest opportunity would be the best use of both men, should WWE have the guts to finally pull the trigger on the last stage of his relatively worthy push.
