3 Reasons why Tyson Fury is the perfect opponent for Braun Strowman

#2 Main event momentum

Braun Strowman closed out Monday Night Raw last week

Going into 2018, nobody was hotter than the Monster Among Men. He was the man everyone thought would topple Brock Lesnar. Alas, it wasn’t to be and since then, it feels like there’s been a glass ceiling over Strowman’s WWE push. He hasn’t been able to reach that next level of being the face of the company. Regardless, in that time he’s still been used as a special attraction to help draw crowds across the world.

This feud with Tyson Fury helps maintain Strowman’s position as a main event Superstar. If you look at all the reports regarding WWE programming recently, most of the headlines are about Fury’s involvement. It’s the most high-profile angle in the company right now. The feud even closed out last week’s episode of Raw, just to highlight that it’s the biggest storyline in the company today.

#1 Crossover appeal

Tyson Fury could use this TV time to promote his upcoming fight with Deontay Wilder

There aren’t many bigger stars in the world of boxing than Tyson Fury. The Gypsy King has a charisma matched by no one and he’s one of the main reasons the sport of boxing has been revived over the past few years. His name merely being associated with WWE has already stoked the attention of new eyes to the product, who may not have any interest in the promotion otherwise.

WWE has always heavily favored the use of celebrities in a pro wrestling ring. They feel any publicity is good publicity especially when it pertains to mainstream culture. For Braun Strowman, this is an opportunity for him to widen his reach outside of WWE.

Throughout this feud, there will be people across the world googling the name of Braun Strowman to learn about his capabilities and past actions. At Crown Jewel, this fight will be a box office attraction, one that will benefit both parties.
