WrestleMania 35 is just around the corner, and with the conclusion of the Royal Rumble and Fastlane pay-per-views, the focus shifts squarely to the marquee pay-per-view.
Most of the top talent of both the brands have either managed to secure matches for the event or are currently engaged in storylines which will ultimately lead to a match for them at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
However, one man who had been on top of the flagship roster has found himself nowhere in the picture for a WrestleMania match. That man is none other than the Monster Among Men Braun Strowman.
While Strowman fought in an odd match with Nicholas in last year’s event for the Raw Tag Team Championships, which they ultimately won, he hasn’t managed to secure a storyline for a match at this year’s event.
Keeping that in mind, we have picked 3 potential opponents for Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 35 who can give the big man a good match for the event.
#3 Elias
Elias has had quite a few face and heel turns in recent times, just like Braun Strowman. This has led to a lot of change in his list of potential opponents, and currently, he doesn’t have any solid opponents on the red brand.
While the Elias and Braun Strowman story is old now, the two haven’t quite had a good one-on-one match against each other.
While Elias is still trying to climb up on the ladder to the top of the Raw roster, Braun Strowman is silently climbing down on it. The two can meet halfway through a clash at WrestleMania which could bring the two men to the spotlight for some time at least.
Elias hasn’t really ever had a good pay-per-view match even though he is an above average performer, while Strowman’s stock has been down in the gutter since the beginning of 2019.
#2 Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre has been fighting for a ticket to the top for some time now, but his efforts have all been in vain as he hasn’t really gotten the chances he deserves.
McIntyre has recently gotten in many feuds and matches with fellow heels Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley, but he hasn’t gotten the solo spotlight that he deserves, since his return.
His recent attack on Roman Reigns signals towards a rivalry between these two men heading into WrestleMania 35. However, McIntyre needs an opponent who has been trying to establish himself too.
That opponent can be none other than The Monster Among Men Braun Strowman who can significantly boost McIntyre’s stock by losing to him a win over himself at WrestleMania.
McIntyre is a main event star who could really use a push at the moment, and it is unlikely that he will go one-up against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Hence, Braun Strowman could prove to be a better opponent for the Scottish Psychopath.
#1 Bobby Lashley
With a shock win over Finn Balor on Raw a couple of nights ago, Bobby Lashley won the Intercontinental Championship for the second time since his return.
While Lashley is doing well in his current run, he should face someone at WrestleMania 35 to defend his title. Since there is no solid mid-carder on Raw other than Finn Balor who can challenge Lashley, Strowman is one man who can give him a good match.
Strowman has failed time and time again to win a singles' championship in WWE and has completely fallen out of the Universal Championship picture.
It is time that Strowman gets into the mid-card title picture and wins his first main roster championship on a grand stage so that he doesn’t get wasted away on Raw anymore.
A match between Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman will be both high-profile and action-packed, and could ultimately turn out to be one of the fresher matches on the card.
