WWE: Bold Predictions; Fastlane to Get An Even Bigger Main Event?

Is Braun Finally Done With Roman?

As was expected by pretty much everyone, Roman Reigns was victorious in the Elimination Chamber. With the victory, The Big Dog punched his ticket to a fourth straight WrestleMania main event – a record Reigns will now share with Hulk Hogan, provided he and Lesnar close the show.

What wasn’t really expected was the performance of Braun Strowman inside the Chamber. Before the match was over, Strowman eliminated every other superstar in the match besides Reigns. The Monster Among Men withstood multiple coordinated attacks by his opponents. Notably, he kicked out of a four man powerbomb (and accompanying four man pin).

But when the dust settled, Reigns dug deep enough to connect with a pair of spears (knowing one wouldn’t be enough) to put Strowman down. After the wars waged between the two superstars over the past year or so, it was fitting that it would come down to Braun and Reigns in the end.

With Roman heading on to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, Braun seems to be out of the picture. His post match assault on Reigns was likely the book closing – for now. Finally, Braun is finished with Roman. I would expect Strowman to be in the championship picture following WrestleMania, but for now, he’s got to take a step back.
