WWE RAW: 5 Superstars almost guaranteed to become Universal Champion in 2019

#3 Braun Strowman

WWE has had a chance to make Braun Strowman the Universal Champion on more than one occasion, but they've refused to pull the trigger. I'm guessing that the reason for the same is that he's always been portrayed as being weaker to Brock Lesnar.

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

But if Seth Rollins is Universal Champion, I can imagine him and Braun Strowman waging wars for the top title in the business. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Strowman holding gold that he doesn't have to relinquish the next day because his partner is in the fourth grade, for a change.

Braun Strowman is a proven commodity and he has a look that certainly looks good on WWE posters. I would personally be very surprised indeed if WWE does not award him the Championship at some point this year, considering that he's delivered at almost every occasion.

I still wonder why he's in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
