4. The Big Show vs. Braun Strowman

Since separating from The Wyatt Family at the WWE Draft, Braun Strowman has broken out on his own to become one of the most unstoppable forces in all of WWE.

His unparalleled strength and power comes as a handicap to just about anybody he comes face-to-face with — namely Sami Zayn, who has been on the business end of more than one vicious beating from the behemoth over the last two months.

It was up until this week’s rendition of Raw, however, that Braun Strowman stood tall as the favorite to win the Royal Rumble – from a storyline perspective, that is, as he still remains the bookies’ firm favorite as of this writing. After all, how do you expect anyone to counteract the monster’s ferocious approach to the ring?

Again, that was until this week, when Big Show made his presence felt. For the first time since the draft, Braun Strowman was overshadowed by a larger competitor — who, by the way, is looking in the best shape of his career.

Strowman denied us a physical confrontation with the “World’s Largest Athlete”, but after being put on notice so close to the Royal Rumble, we may have just been introduced to the one man capable of eliminating Strowman from the match.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Strowman take on Big Show, but given the booking of the former since last summer, not to mention the impeccable physical health that the future Hall of Famer appears to be in, we could be in store for a spectacular big-man contest when the two inevitably come to blows. You can bet your bottom dollar that the first showcase of this match is going to come on Sunday night.
