Braun Strowman, a towering figure in WWE, ascended to the peak of his popularity back in 2018. However, despite his immense potential, WWE’s handling of him has been a rollercoaster ride filled with missed opportunities.
Arriving on the scene in 2015 as part of the formidable Wyatt family, Strowman quickly caught the attention of fans and pundits alike with his remarkable size and raw power.
Following his departure from the Wyatt family in 2016, WWE began positioning him as a solo competitor, gradually building his presence in the ring.
While he wasn’t immediately thrust into the spotlight with the main event elites, it didn’t take long for Strowman to make his mark. By 2017, he found himself embroiled in a heated rivalry with Roman Reigns, a feud that proved to be a breakthrough moment for him.
His unforgettable act of flipping an ambulance with Reigns inside on an episode of RAW catapulted him into the limelight, earning him recognition as a standout performer.
As fans clamored for him to ascend to the pinnacle of WWE as the world champion, Strowman received multiple opportunities to seize the coveted title, including a showdown with the formidable Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar. However, despite his displays of dominance, the championship remained elusive.
In 2018, Strowman clinched the Money in the Bank briefcase, a golden ticket to championship glory.
Yet, WWE failed to capitalize on this opportunity, resulting in a squandered potential. It wasn’t until the tumultuous year of 2020, marred by the COVID-19 pandemic, that Strowman finally captured the Universal Championship, albeit under unique circumstances with Reigns absent from the scene.
Currently sidelined due to injury, the return of Strowman to the ring remains uncertain, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his comeback.
