5 WWE Superstars who challenged for both the WWE and Universal Championships but won neither

#3 Braun Strowman

The Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman has been in the Universal Championship picture since 2017. He had a short feud for the title with Kevin Owens.

But, Braun Strowman vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship was one of the most memorable WWE feuds in recent history. Both the men were ready to tear each apart as they collided in a singles match at No Mercy 2017.

Though Strowman stayed in the title scene for almost six months, he could not take the title off Lesnar. After a brief run in the tag team division, The Monster Among Men won the Money In The Bank briefcase in 2018. He tried to cash-in at multiple occasions only to fail. He is set for yet another Universal Championship, this time against Seth Rollins at Clash of Champions 2019.

A little known fact about Braun Strowman is that he had once competed for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship back in 2016 when Roman Reigns had put his title on the line in a Royal Rumble match. Strowman was a part of the Wyatt Family then and had entered the match with a bid to win the championship. Co-incidentally, Brock Lesnar was the one to eliminate Strowman from that match.

You can watch his elimination in the following video at 12:50.
