WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 3 Reasons Braun Strowman Should Not Win
By Dean Siemon
3. There are more Deserving Superstars
The WWE has a number of superstars who are arguably more deserving of a main event match at WrestleMania 33. For example, Sami Zayn will likely get one of the biggest pops from the crowd if he found himself challenging Kevin Owens for the WWE Universal Championship. There were some reports that the WWE was planning a storyline for Zayn similar to Daniel Bryan three years ago.
However, there are other candidates that are more likely to find themselves winning the 2017 Royal Rumble match. The Undertaker was a point of discussion when there were rumors of him facing John Cena at WrestleMania 33. Some fans might be hopeful for a returning Finn Balor, if he is fully recovered from his devastating shoulder injury. Balor challenging Owens would likely be the match of the night.
Braun Strowman is likely destined to become the next great big man in the WWE. This is especially true with legends like Big Show, Kane and Mark Henry nearing the end of their careers. Someone is going to have to fill those extremely large shoes. At the moment, Strowman finds himself in a very beneficial position.
Therefore, he will eventually find himself in the main event of WrestleMania one year. But he doesn’t deserve that kind of spotlight. Not just yet. And not ahead of some of the earlier mentioned superstars.
