Braun Strowman is one of the greatest big men we have seen in WWE. He is nearly seven-feet tall and weighs over 380 pounds. His mammoth-sized body doesn't prevent him from running around the ring like a cat. In short, Strowman is a once-in-a-lifetime athlete and is a phenomenal talent with immense potential. However, Strowman hasn't reached the heights many fans wanted and expected him to.
The Monster Among Men has been under-utilized lately, but recent reports and rumors suggest that he is in line for a push. Strowman will be booked like the monster he initially was and it looks like the creative has great plans in store for him.
Strowman deserves a key spot and a meaningful match on the SummerSlam card. SummerSlam is just two weeks away and Strowman doesn't have any direction or storyline heading into the event. It would be a colossal shame and disappointment if Strowman is forced to sit out of the SummerSlam pay-per-view.
Strowman was recently embroiled in a feud with Bobby Lashley. The two titans took each other to the limit, but it was Strowman who got the last laugh when he defeated Lashley in a Last Man Standing Match at Extreme Rules.
As the WWE roster is loaded with talent and more matches are expected to be added to the card, there's a decent chance that Strowman is booked for a match at the event.
With that said, let's look at 3 potential opponents for the Monster Among Men at the biggest party of the Summer.
#3 Baron Corbin
The Lone Wolf is currently without a creative direction. After wrapping up his feud with Seth Rollins over the Universal Championship, Corbin hasn't had much going on for him on television. Like it or not, Corbin is one of the top heels in WWE and he needs to be at SummerSlam as well.
Strowman and Corbin know each other very well. They had a fierce rivalry in the not so distant past, that saw both Superstars go back-and-forth. Strowman defeated Corbin in a TLC match last year at the TLC pay-per-view with much help from Corbin's rivals, and Corbin returned the favor at Elimination Chamber this year when he defeated Strowman in a No Disqualification Match with outside interference from Lashley and McIntyre.
Although it would certainly not be the best option, Strowman vs Corbin is a match that will benefit both of them involved.
#2 Drew McIntyre
The Scottish Psychopath and The Monster Among Men are two of WWE's most powerful and intimidating men. These two goliaths have never crossed paths in a singles match, which comes as a surprise as they have been on the same brand for well over a year. Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre were once friends, but their alliance was short-lived.
McIntyre has been a thorn in Strowman's path for far too long. He assisted Corbin in tormenting and injuring Strowman throughout the former's rivalry with Strowman. McIntyre has laid out Strowman on many occasions, but they have never had a full-fledged rivalry.
These two behemoths are so evenly matched. A match between the two would be so unpredictable and it could either way. Strowman vs McIntyre would be a brutal encounter that would bring the best out of the two.
McIntyre is currently involved in a lackluster feud with Cedric Alexander that is going nowhere. Strowman could help Alexander fight off McIntyre and could challenge McIntyre to a match at SummerSlam.
#1 Samoa Joe
The Samoan Submission Machine has failed in yet another WWE Championship pursuit. The former United States Champion was ousted out of the WWE Championship picture at Extreme Rules when he lost to Kofi Kingston. Samoa Joe recently lost to Roman Reigns at Raw Reunion and things are looking dark for the Samoan Submission Machine.
However, there is still some hope for Joe. A rivalry with Strowman could go a long way in reviving his career and bringing him back on top. Strowman and Joe brawled on the post-WrestleMania edition of SmackDown Live, but there was no follow-up to that segment. Joe and Strowman are two of the most revered athletes in WWE and putting them in the same ring would be best for business.
Joe has been struggling on the main roster, Strowman isn't as popular and credible as he once was either. SummerSlam is the perfect stage for such a monumental rivalry. Strowman vs Joe is a match most fans would love to see and there's more good than bad to it.
