WWE Raw 5 Biggest Stars: The Wrath Of Braun Strowman

WWE.com

1. Braun Strowman

As if anybody had a doubt who the biggest star of the night was. Braun Strowman was head and shoulder above the rest of the pack by a mile. He didn’t even need to step into the ring to do that either. Strowman rampaged across the backstage area like a video game boss who was running around on God Mode.

He three security guards around like rag dolls. He put Curt Hawkins through a table and then proceeded to eat some cake from a terrified guy. You need charisma akin to the legends of the Attitude Era, like Stone Cold Steve Austin to pull off stuff like that. Here we have Braun Strowman, in all his might, strength and rage, finding time to enjoy some cake. Tell me that did not remind you of something that the Rattlesnake would do. Bleacher Report was one of the first to point this out and I just couldn’t get that idea out of my head.

"Strowman’s character now is a monster version of Austin. As WWE proved Monday when Strowman took a piece of cake instead of smashing it in someone’s face, he is still capable of having comedic elements in his segments. That’s where Austin fits perfectly."

As if that wasn’t enough, after pulling off the entire set on to Lesnar and Kane last week, the Monster Among Men outdid himself this week. He flipped a trailer truck for God’s sake. Strowman does these super-human acts and at the same time looks so convincing while doing them. Despite not winning a title yet, he has that undefinable aura around him.

The big question now is whether he will be able to get the job done at Royal Rumble. All this rage fueled backstage actions can work only for so long. At some point in time, Strowman needs to win the big one. Will January 29 be his coronation?
