Mistake 6: Braun Strowman not dominating

The face that should terrorize the place.

He got eliminated relatively early in last year's match, but this year's Braun Strowman is very, very different from last year's. The Braun Strowman of 2016 was still trying to establish himself as a top singles competitor. A year later, he's arguably WWE's biggest full-time star.

He's also the youngest person in the match. In fact, he's the only one closer to 30 than 40, with many of his peers nearing 50! While the match is full of star power, it has a combined age of a whopping 405, with an average age 40.5.

In truth, though the match is a huge short-term draw, it's indicative of a long-term problem WWE has often failed to fix - creating younger stars that can replace the ageing veterans.

With all this in mind, it's imperative that Braun Strowman be the star of this match. The multi-man environment is where he shines brightest, too. No one has forgotten his starring performance at this year's deliciously chaotic SummerSlam main event.

He should go on a similar tear, and an elimination of John Cena would help him in a huge way. In truth, he should be the sole survivor in the match, but not without some help. Someone can stop his momentum somewhere, but just as it seems SmackDown is about to triumph over the monster.
