Ever since he became the Head of Creative, Triple H has been striving to deliver everything the WWE Universe desires. However, this week's RAW has led to the belief that The King of Kings may have made a significant mistake with Braun Strowman, from which the former Universal Champion may never recover to emerge as a top star again.

For those unaware, the Monster Among Men wrestled Damian Priest in a singles match on the latest edition of the red brand. However, the bout concluded in just a few minutes when The Archer of Infamy defeated Strowman in an ostensibly dominant fashion.


Damian Priest defeated Braun Strowman in an easy manner

One of the major mistakes made by Triple H regarding Braun Strowman is that Damian Priest defeated him with little effort. Throughout the match, the World Heavyweight Champion had the upper hand on Strowman. Braun took the pin after Damian delivered a South of Heaven Chokeslam.

In the past, we have seen The Monster of all Monsters kicking out of multiple finishing maneuvers, which made him look strong despite the loss. However, this wasn't the case in the recent match on Monday Night RAW, which could be a major mistake by Triple H.

Surely, defeating Braun in this manner could establish Damian Priest as a stronger World Heavyweight Champion heading toward his match against Gunther at SummerSlam 2024. However, this has seemingly hurt the momentum of the former Universal Champion.


Braun Strowman never get a world title shot despite feuding with Judgment Day

Another mistake of Triple H is that he booked Braun Strowman to feud with The Judgment Day over the past few months. However, despite this, the 40-year-old star never got a World Title shot against Damian Priest.

In most cases, when a star feuds with a faction or a star who holds a championship, they eventually get a title shot in the upcoming weeks or months.

However, in the case of Braun Strowman, he never got a match against Damian Priest for the championship. Even if not a World Title shot, WWE could have teamed up Strowman with someone to get a World Tag Team Title match against Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. However, even this scenario didn't materialize in the present scenario.


This mistake of Triple H has ranked down Strowman's status as a main-event star

With these missteps by Triple H, the former Universal Champion's status as a main event star has seemingly been diminished. Now, the WWE Universe might view Strowman as someone who can be defeated with a single finisher.

This has significantly lowered his standing as a main event star, raising serious concerns about the 40-year-old's ability to recover and return to top-tier status.
