WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 3 Reasons Braun Strowman Should Not Win

2. Braun Strowman Likely to be Fed to Legend

The WWE decided to have a slight tease when Braun Strowman was backstage during Undertaker’s promo. Some might think this is a potential sign the WWE wants to have Strowman face the Phenom for a WrestleMania feud. It would make a little bit of sense. But let’s take a look at how Strowman has been booked in 2016 after the WWE Draft.

The majority of the superstars up until now are generally a little bit smaller than Strowman. This mountain of a man has been destroying smaller superstars with a level of ease. Even in his feud with Sami Zayn, Strowman looked extremely strong. It was the kind of feud that benefitted most men. However, Strowman has not competed against other stronger powerhouses. The Undertaker, while an elder veteran, is still considered a larger superstar.

Strowman probably needs to be developed more before becoming a credible threat to someone like the Undertaker. For that matter, it would be very likely to see Strowman be beaten up by someone like Goldberg or Brock Lesnar. Both are pretty much viewed as veterans who have made a name for themselves as dominant powerhouses; much longer than Braun Strowman.

Legends like Goldberg, Lesnar and the Undertaker are likely going to be part of matches the WWE will bills as “main events.” One way to get them over would be to eliminate Strowman. It might not be the best thing for his character, but it is a likely scenario to play out at the Royal Rumble.
