5 Best & 5 Worst WWE Things Of 2018

#4 (WORST): Cooling Off Braun Strowman

Strowman lost his MITB contract in No Contest at Hell In A Cell

In a previous article, I had briefly mentioned how Strowman was not going anywhere on RAW and should be moved to Smackdown. My reason for that thought was the fact that WWE was not mentally ready to move past its top priorities in Lesnar and Reigns; Strowman was but a sacrificial lamb to play a small part in their stories.

Five F5s later, I don't know if even that's going to help Strowman anymore. Pointless heel turns, failed MITB cash-ins and comedy tag team wins alongside 10 year old kids aside, Strowman's butchering at the Crown Jewel event this year was sadly the reflection of his entire career to this point. He builds all this momentum to raise his stock in the company only to get planted in the ground again and again.

Is Strowman already done? Not at all... since he does have all those Smackdown lads to beat at Survivor Series next year, just like this year and the one before it. But with everything said and done, Strowman has lost so much credibility this year that it's hard to buy him as the legitimate Universal Champion even if he manages to hold that belt now.
