WWE Clash of Champions 2019: Top 5 performers at the PPV

#3 Braun Strowman

The 'Monster Among Men' is full of surprises

Right after losing his Tag Team title to Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler, Braun Strowman blamed Seth Rollins for getting pinned. He carried that aggression into the ring when he went toe-to-toe with the ‘Beast Slayer’ for the Universal Champion.

Out of several astonishing spots throughout the match, the one that stood out saw Strowman reach the top of the turnbuckle and hit Rollins with a splash. For a second, we saw the ‘Monster Among Men’ shaking while trying to maintain his balance on top of the ropes.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

But the next second we saw him just go for it. It was a pleasant surprise to see him pull off such a move in his attempt to beat the Universal Champion. It took three Curb Stomps for Rollins to finally overcome Strowman who shrugged off the first two as if they were bee stings.

Despite the fact that Strowman failed in his attempt to get his hands on the Universal Championship, he was as good as the champion, if not better. And who knows, maybe the next time he challenges for the tile he will walk away with the gold on his shoulder.
