5. Braun Strowman Has Grown Stale
If you were to go back in time 2 or 3 months and say that Braun Strowman has grown stale, everyone would look at you like you were crazy. I mean, how can you not cheer for a guy who flips ambulances, smashes cellos, and uses grappling hooks?
Well, that was great and all when he was trying to murder the likes of Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Kane, and Elias, but there has to be more depth to the Braun Strowman character other than wanting to pull off impressive feats of strength to kill an opponent. Otherwise, the crowd will grow tired of seeing the same type of thing over and over again without reason.
And I’m afraid this is what is happening with Braun Strowman’s most recent feud with Kevin Owens. Basically attempting murder on his opponents is actually what got Braun Strowman over as a babyface, but when he repeatedly does it for no rhyme or reason, he begins to look a bit heelish.
Right now, in a feud where Owens is supposed to be the heel and Strowman is supposed to be the face, I find myself feeling sympathy for Owens and hating that bully of a monster Braun Strowman.
I mean, Kevin Owens literally came out and said he wants to be friends with the Monster so they can have people looking out for each other. So, what does Braun do? Oh, he just repeatedly powerslams Owens, throws him off a ladder, flips his car over, and knocks him off the stage while he’s in a porta potty.
We have no idea why Braun Strowman has this vendetta against Owens, which makes him hard to relate to as a character. His schtick of flipping things over has become a tired act, and now it is time to see more depth before he is ready to be Universal Champion.
