Braun Strowman has truly earned his moniker ‘The Monster Among Men’ with his antics leading up to the huge Royal Rumble Universal Title match against Kane and Brock Lesnar. However he faces six other Superstars at the WWE Elimination Chamber PPV in a Chamber match to earn another shot at Lesnar for the title at WrestleMania. A shot he should absolutely win.
The current belief in wrestling circles is that ‘The Big Dog’ Roman Reigns is currently earmarked to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania and finally defeat ‘The Beast Incarnate’. This has been the prevailing prediction for a little over a year now and has somewhat taken away any suspense from what could happen in the first ever seven man Elimination Chamber match. This brings me to my first reason why Braun Strowman should win the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match.
#3. It would be a surprise and it wouldn’t be Roman Reigns
I have nothing against Roman Reigns, but I just honestly don’t feel that he has earned a rematch against Brock Lesnar, that a Reigns Vs. Lesnar match at ‘Mania makes much sense given the storyline events of the last six months and that the WWE Universe has any particular vested interest in seeing it.
However, all of us have been diligently following along, waiting for the inevitable to happen and it looks well on its way with Roman Reigns claiming a spot in the Elimination Chamber, defeating Bray Wyatt. The implication being that he will win it and go on to face Lesnar.
This was after Reigns had been embroiled in feuds with people like The Miz and Samoa Joe and hadn’t gone anywhere near the Universal Title or Lesnar. This further makes a random ‘Reigns in the main event for ‘Mania move’ all the more absurd.
But what if, Reigns doesn’t win the Elimination Chamber like everyone is reporting and everyone expects and instead someone else wins it. What if that someone has unresolved business with Brock Lesnar, and what if that someone would be significantly better received as the person to beat Brock Lesnar?
Imagine that, Braun Strowman, who can literally lift semi-trucks with ease, shocking the WWE Universe by winning an Elimination Chamber match he should absolutely have bang to rights.
