#2 Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman is expected to have a good year, and he has a huge chance to hold the Universal title. Strowman has been in the Universal title picture over one year, but he has not managed to win the title.
He is set to face Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble, and it will be interesting to see if he pins the champion. Meanwhile, he lost to Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel, where the two superstars locked horns for the vacant Universal title.
Presently, Strowman is out of ring action due to an injury. Strowman is a popular name in WWE, and he has become a dominating character. His stature is remarkable, and he is an impressive performer in the squared circle.
Strowman won the Raw Tag Team titles at WrestleMania 34. He also won the Money in the Bank contract and the Greatest Royal Rumble last year. Only a handful of superstars have pinned Brock Lesnar, and Strowman could be a believable candidate to pin the current Universal Champion.
