That Vince McMahon is a huge Braun Strowman supporter shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Big, strong, and athletic, he's everything the Chairman looks for in a monster character, and his push up the card has been as swift as his surge in popularity, with Vince himself seemingly playing a major role in Strowman's development.

According to Braun himself in an interview with Metro, McMahon is "very hands on" and has "taken me on as his project." He notes that while Vince "has some crazy ideas," he has never questioned anything the boss has asked him to do, and credits McMahon with much of his success.

Strowman claims that Vince is fond of him not only for his larger than life "shock and awe value," but for his work ethic and dedication, stating that the Chairman is very much in his corner.

The interview touches on other topics, but the McMahon comments are the most interesting. WWE haven't ever looked like pulling the trigger on Strowman as 'The Guy,' though Braun's comments suggest that he may eventually fulfil his long-held ambition of main eventing WrestleMania, though Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are expected to occupy that slot next year.
