WWE Rumor Roundup - Big Superstar done with company and could go to AEW, Rey Mysterio's reaction to Aalyah storyline, New opponent for Roman Reigns - 31st October 2020

#2 Vince McMahon wasn't always ready to make Braun Strowman a World Champion in the WWE

Braun Strowman has come a long way since being the Black Sheep of the Wyatt Family. The Monster Among Men has grown to become one of the most popular WWE Superstars in the company, and he has even managed to have a single reign with the Universal title along the way.

However, there was a time when Vince McMahon felt that Braun Strowman was not ready for a World title run. Strowman was at the peak of his powers in 2016 and 2017, and the endgame of the hot run seemed to be a World Championship push.

Vince McMahon had other plans as the WWE Boss felt that Braun Strowman was still not ready.

Braun Strowman was a guest on Lilian Garcia's 'Chasing Glory' podcast, and the RAW Superstar opened up on his reaction to being told by Vince McMahon that he would have to wait for a world title win in the WWE.

Strowman admitted that it was a hard pill to swallow, but he continued to put in the work, and when the moment finally arrived, it was worth going through the process.

"Yeah, it was. You know, it was just a hard pill to swallow. I'm excessive. I don't do anything in moderation. It's all or nothing. It's all about the process, and when you get there, it is so worth it." H/t WrestlingInc

Strowman is currently on RAW, and he is expected to be a significant player on the Red brand moving forward. While he would have to wait in line for another world title reign, Strowman would still be prominently featured in major storylines.
