#2 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman has had the most successful year in the WWE in term of championships and laurels. At Wrestlemania, he paired up with a WWE fan Nicholas and won the Raw Tag Team Championships from Sheamus and Cesaro which earned him first piece of gold in the WWE. At the Greatest Royal Rumble, Strowman stood tall after eliminating Elias at the end to win the match and being crowned the first-ever winner.
Ever since Braun was drafted to Raw in 2016, he has always been built up by the WWE and is now reaping rich dividends. He is one of the best big guys in WWE history and is currently in the main event picture involving the Universal Championship. With considerable success already to his name, Strowman made a mockery out of Team Smackdown at the Survivor Series after he came out of the match as a surviving member of Team Raw.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
All of these add up to the fact the Braun Strowman has grown into his role of a main eventer over the past year. It wouldn't be long before we get to see the Universal Championship around the waist of the "Monster Among Men". Hopefully, we'll be able to witness that in 2019.
