5 Reasons why Braun Strowman was written off RAW this week

#4 To get babyface sympathy on him

How do you even push a babyface monster?

Braun Strowman has become the top babyface on RAW ever since Roman Reigns took time away to deal with his malady. This is obvious from the fact that he was cheated out of the Universal Championship by RAW's top heel, Baron Corbin. The two men have been at odds ever since.

It is hard for the audience to sympathize and support a monster who simply cannot be stopped. Therefore, the only way to get sympathy for such a character would be for a team of beasts to team up and take him out unfairly, ahead of a big match. When the odds are stacked against Strowman, the crowd will begin to root for him.
