What’s the story?
After WWE Payback, Jim Ross wrote on his blog that Braun Strowman is a big part of the WWE’s future moving forward.
The Background
Since his destruction of Roman Reigns on WWE television, Strowman’s stock in the industry has risen to new heights that weren’t preemptively thought of before. It was five minutes of TV that made the fans, and especially those who despise Reigns, finally see star appeal in the Monster among Men.
Trending
Two weeks after the massive beatdown on one of the WWE’s biggest stars, Strowman was finally positioned to reach new heights in WWE. After suffering a loss to Reigns at Fast Lane, he got his rematch and decimated The Big Dog.
The heart of the matter
Jim Ross took note of Strowman’s progress and lavished praise on the Monster among Men. He said:
“Another strong outing on a major event for Braun Strowman who is being creatively managed quite well by @WWE. Strowman is a major part of the future of WWE or so it seems to me.
Curious to see how WWE deals with Strowman’s popularity considering that he is being booked as a nasty, badass villain. Defiant, young males love to live vicariously through stars that they often times see on TV and if that logic is somewhat accurate, what’s there to dislike about Strowman? Braun is a monster with no apparent reverse gear.”

What’s next?
As we reported earlier, Braun Strowman is set to have a rematch with Roman Reigns in an Ambulance match at WWE Extreme Rules. Several reports have also suggested that he will be Brock Lesnar’s opponent at Great Balls of Fire.
Author’s take
It was a tremendous effort by the WWE to make Strowman look strong in his win over Reigns at Payback. Nobody knows where this feud will go or when it will end. All the WWE fans know is that Strowman is a commodity which has the potential to be a needle mover.
