WWE SummerSlam: The Top 5 Candidates To Face Brock Lesnar For The Universal Championship

#4 Braun Strowman

WWE Live 2017 — Braun Strowman has been on an absolute tear

Over the past year or so, Braun Strowman has been on an absolute tear, defeating pretty much any and every of the WWE’s biggest names. Well, bar one man: Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar and Strowman have already done one-on-one battle at No Mercy in 2017, with Paul Heyman’s Beast defeating the Monster Among Men.

WWE's huge mistake with John Cena revealed - Watch Here!

Since that defeat, Strowman has rarely lost a singles match, and he’s destined to eventually reach the top of the pile and become Universal Champion or WWE Champion sooner rather than later.

To add even more validity to the claim that Strowman should challenge Lesnar for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam, The Monster Among Men has the Money in the Bank briefcase in his back pocket.

Given how Strowman has been positioned as an all-conquering, dominant babyface who looks to face up to any challenge at the soonest opportunity, it would make perfect sense for him to announce ahead of time that he’s cashing in his Money in the Bank contract and challenging Lesnar at SummerSlam.
