10 superstars who deserve to be WWE Universal Champion more than Brock Lesnar

#8. Braun Strowman

When Braun Strowman came out with the Wyatt family, the main reaction from the WWE Universe was a huge yawn. Sure, he was big, but he had little in the way of personality, and his ring style is far from flashy.

However, with some time on the main roster and more experience, Strowman has really come into his own. Not only have his ring skills been polished up, but he's also really become comfortable with his character. Braun is no longer a grunting misanthrope who breaks stuff. He's now an articulate, intelligent performer who sees the value in making alliances and leading factions.

Strowman might need a little more time before he truly becomes worthy of a world title reign, but unlike Brock, he's under a full-time contract, and his wrestling his above the Universal champ's level as well. Braun Strowman might be in a gatekeeper role right now, but he could serve WWE well as its Universal champion.
