Top 5 Favourites To Become The Next Universal Champion

#2. Braun Strowman

Can Strowman finally capture the Universal championship?

Since Wrestlemania 33, Braun Strowman has received five opportunities to capture the Universal Championship. However, the monster among men fell short of victory every single time. While Brock Lesnar pinned Roman Reigns and Kane respectively at Summerslam 2017 and Royal Rumble 2018, the monster among fell flat against Lesnar at No Mercy 2017 and Crown Jewel. His bout against Roman Reigns was interfered by Brock Lesnar - causing a no contest.

So the question is, can Strowman capture the Universal title at least in his sixth chance? At Royal Rumble 2018, Strowman goes one on one against Brock Lesnar for the big red belt.

Since Strowman was "cheated" at Crown Jewel by Baron Corbin and such a threat no longer lingers, one could say that it is finally the time for Lesnar to "get these hands". Strowman has a strong odds of 5/2 in his favour to be the next top champion on RAW.
