If last week proved anything on Raw, it's that nobody will stand in the way of Braun Strowman's push to the top of the WWE mountain. Even headline names like Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns were made to look inferior to the giant, meaning the reigning Universal Champ also has to know his role next to Strowman.

Thankfully, Kevin Owens is a master at playing his character. The same can be said for Chris Jericho, neither man needs to look totally dominant during their segments on WWE television to remain over. This week, they tried to massage Braun's ego and simultaneously get their rivals (Rollins and Reigns) into trouble.

Hidden in amongst all that sucking up, Owens outright said that Braun Strowman was surely in line for a shot at the WWE Universal Title following Royal Rumble, There, KO defends against Roman Reigns, yet claimed that Strowman was his next real challenge.

Does this mean that Braun will get a shot at the belt before WrestleMania? That's precisely what KO's words suggested.
