Braun Strowman is the current Universal Champion which indicates that he is already a major star in WWE. While that is true, it can be said that The Monster Among Men still hasn't lived up to the expectations he set early on during his run. Still, he could be the next Brock Lesnar.

On top of that, the only reason Braun Strowman is the World Champion right now is that Roman Reigns decided to back out of his match against Goldberg at WrestleMania 36. Braun Strowman had revealed that Vince McMahon had himself told him that he wanted him for the 'long haul'.

I called Vince and I was like, ‘Vince, what is going on? I’m miserable.’ And he talked me off a ledge. He was like, ‘Look, big man, I want you for the long haul. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing right now. I care about what you’re doing ten years from now. I’ve invested in you, you’re one of my guys. Don’t worry. You’re fine.’

If booked right, Braun Strowman could become the relentless destroyer that Brock Lesnar is and establish himself as toughest big man in the industry.
