5 options for Braun Strowman at Wrestlemania

Braun Strowman was set to face Brock Lensar at Royal Rumble. However, WWE changed the plans at last moment, leading to Finn Balor stepping up against the Beast.

Braun Strowman was positioned to become the next Universal Champion during his feud against Roman Reigns, but things have fallen downward for the Monster Among Men. Strowman has failed to capture a single singles championship in WWE, in over four years of his tenure on the main roster.

Strowman would most likely not be headlining Wrestlemania again, due to Seth Rollins pinned to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.

Braun Strowman is one of the biggest stars in WWE today, and in absence of John Cena and Roman Reigns, is arguably the biggest babyface in WWE.

He has appeared in three Wrestlemania events till now but has failed to make a mark in any of those. What could he be doing at Wrestlemania 35?

#5 Strowman/Angle v McIntyre/Corbin

Braun Strowman has had beef with Baron Corbin and Drew Mcintyre for the last few months. Baron Corbin during his tenure as the RAW General Manager cost Strowman his shot at the Universal Championship. McIntyre has risen as the only superstar unfazed by the Monster Among Men.

Kurt Angle and Braun Strowman faced off against the newly formed villainous duo last week on RAW. However, their rivalry could go on leading up to Wrestlemania. Kurt Angle's tensions with Baron Corbin are long documented and could culminate at Wrestlemania.

Strowman could become a sad victim of the bloated Wrestlemania card, with almost 10 championships being defended on the show with the addition of Women's Tag Titles.

Featuring in a match with a legend like Kurt Angle will help to elevate the status of all the other three superstars involved in the match.

#4 Braun Strowman v Bobby Lashley

In a true hoss fight, Strowman fighting the All Mighty Bobby Lashley will produce a great entertaining encounter. Lashley will be competing at Wrestlemania for the first time in almost ten years, and it would be a great way of making his comeback to the biggest stage.

Lashley is currently the Intercontinental Champion, having defeated Seth Rollins last month for the title. Lashley's in-ring prowess is remarkable and could help create a great match against Braun Strowman.

Lashley and Strowman are the two "big" superstars on RAW currently and have barely crossed paths in the last twelve months.

Strowman has not won a single championship in the singles division of WWE, and defeating Lashley for the Intercontinental Championship will be a fantastic way of giving him his first title.

#3 Braun Strowman v John Cena

Strowman and Reigns were projected to be the next "big" things for WWE after John Cena's departure from full-time WWE programming. Reigns solidified his role as the Guy after he defeated John Cena clean as a whistle at No Mercy 2017.

However, Reigns being out of action means Strowman has to step up. Strowman defeating Cena in a match at Wrestlemania will be a major shift of things in WWE.

Strowman had a problematic run in 2018, which started and ended with losses against Brock Lesnar. His credibility is by no means on a downward trend, but it took a hit in the previous calendar year.

If WWE wants to make Strowman a big deal, facing Cena in a match at Wrestlemania is a must.

Braun Strowman is the perfect individual for getting new casual viewers into WWE programming.

#2 Braun Strowman v Lars Sullivan

Lars Sullivan is exactly what Braun Strowman started as. A mystic monster, with lots of questions regarding his origin. Sullivan has a terrifying persona, which helped him become a big deal in NXT even though he had not-so-clinical wrestling skills.

Braun Strowman and Lars Sullivan will create a matchup which won't have high flying offence and hundreds of suicide dives. But they'll create an old-school fight, in which two individuals simply looking to murder each other destroy each other within the squared circle.

Although Sullivan is relatively new to the main roster, rumours of him getting a big push are not far-fetched. Sullivan is exactly what Vince McMahon wants in a superstar, and will not hesitate to give him a big push from the start.

It will also work to give the casuals something to watch, and definitely bring in a lot of views from the younger audiences.

#1 Braun Strowman v Bray Wyatt

It is strange that Wyatt and Strowman have never crossed paths, barring a small moment in Survivor Series match in 2016. Bray Wyatt, storywise, brought Braun Strowman to the shores of WWE.

However, Strowman was given a singles run in 2016 and the Wyatt Family broke up. Usually, most stables have an implosion, leading to superstars venturing into singles action. However, Wyatt Family never had any closure and was disbanded for some reason.

Bray Wyatt has been M.I.A for almost half a year now, and it is criminal that his talents are not being utilized. He is one of the top promo workers in the company and will be invaluable to the RAW division, which desperately needs some injection of star-power.

Strowman and Wyatt battling over their past and storied history will create intrigue and lead to interesting avenues.
