Braun Strowman has been on an absolute tear since being drafted to Monday Night Raw in the 2016 WWE Draft. Strowman squashed jobber after jobber in an effort to build him up, and that effort was rewarded. Even though Strowman is pushed as a heel, crowds started to get behind the Monster Among Men as he continued to dominate the competition.
That is, until the Fastlane pay-per-view. Braun Strowman went one-on-one with Roman Reigns and after a missed top rope splash followed by a spear, found himself looking up at the lights for the three count. This past Monday on Raw, Strowman backed down from The Undertaker before the Dead Man chokeslammed Roman Reigns.
Based on the report, rumours are circulating that Braun Strowman will be winning the annual Battle Royal at WrestleMania this year. The report also indicates that this would be the WWE’s way of rehabilitating Strowman’s monstrous image after losing to Roman Reigns at Fastlane.
If Strowman is to enter the match, it is thought that he would look dominant, eliminating most of the field before being the victor of the match.
We’ll have to wait and see if Strowman declares himself as an entrant for the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at some point over the next three weeks.
We understand that Roman Reigns needed to look good going into a probable WrestleMania showdown with The Undertaker, but there were many other ways they could have booked his clash with Strowman to protect both wrestlers’ respective brands.
However, with how they booked the match at Fastlane, this would be a great way to rehabilitate Strowman in the eyes of the fans. If he does enter the match, he should win convincingly while eliminating every other participant in short order.
