5 Booking mistakes that WWE must avoid with Braun Strowman's Universal title reign

#2 Ending his title reign with a weak booking

It is quite easy to predict that Braun Strowman’s Universal Championship reign won’t be that long. After Roman Reigns returns to WWE, the creatives would want him to become the new Champion. Even before that, WWE could have Bray Wyatt win his title back and he has already initiated a feud with Strowman.

Unfortunately for the ‘Monster Among Men’, he might drop his title sooner than anyone expects. However, WWE can still save his credibility if they have him drop his title after a strong, compelling booking.

Even if Strowman is set to hold onto his title only for a few weeks, WWE must ensure that he loses his gold in a respectable fashion. After all, we all remember how Kofi Kingston's historical title reign came to an end.

An unexpected heel turn, a brutal match, or a shocking trick used by his opponent might help Strowman better even when he loses his title. But the creatives must ensure that everything ranging from the build-up of his Championship feud to the final encounter of his title feud is on point before he drops his title to one of his peers.
