WWE: Who Should Be The Next Universal Champion

2. Braun Strowman

I believe the most obvious pick out of anybody is “The Monster Among Men.” Time after time now, Braun Strowman has looked like he was in the perfect place to become the WWE Universal Champion. The most recent being at the WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view. Yet, with over a handful of shots to become “The Champion Among Men,” Braun is yet to get that big win to put him at the top of the mountain on Monday Night RAW.

Braun Strowman’s situation is close in comparison with Smackdown’s booking with Samoa Joe. Both men have received so many chances to become the champion and keep coming up short whenever it matters the most. However, Braun and Joe alike are both seen as future world champions of their respective brands. But how many opportunities do these men receive until it seems like it is impossible?

I have a feeling that the next time that we see Braun Strowman get an opportunity to become the WWE Universal Champion, it will finally be his turn. Although, with that being said, Braun Strowman is a man that I believe doesn’t need to hold the world championship to achieve his goals in the WWE. He could be used like Andre The Giant was used, as a spectacle of a superstar. He was a sight that people came to see. But, that isn’t the route I see the WWE going in. The WWE has turned Braun back to being a face surely for a reason.

Vince McMahon is no stranger to loving to push big, sweaty men like Braun Strowman. Strowman is the ideal big man champion that Vince has been looking for year after year. He is powerful and agile for a big man. He also has been able to get the crowd on his side. Putting the title on Strowman could be a great idea if the booking is done right. At the moment, Braun needs to quickly crush Baron Corbin for his involvement. Let’s get Braun going on the right momentum wave again and put the championship on him.
