Sportskeeda WWE Awards 2017: Babyface of the Year

#4 Braun Strowman

The only reason this man isn't higher, is because he's a pretty recent babyface — The only reason this man isn't any higher, is because he's a pretty recent babyface

Braun Strowman spent much of the year as a heel. While he did get monstrous reactions, no pun intended, he would behave like a heel in all his matches and programs. This is until WWE TLC came along. The monster became a good guy.

Strowman's allies- The Miz, Kane, Cesaro and Sheamus would dump him in the back of a garbage truck. Strowman would return as a babyface as he would unleash a reign of terror. With due apologies to Asuka, nobody was ready for Strowman.

One may make the argument that Strowman was also the babyface during his feud against Brock Lesnar. Almost everyone in the audience wanted him to upset the Beast Incarnate, and take away his gold, for good.

We're certain that some gold awaits him in the year 2018.
