Braun Strowman has seen many ups and downs in his career, but at no point has he been this low in his entire career.

Even though he has been in the upper card and getting top matches, the way his character is built and his story are taken forward is quite questionable. He has become the Kane of the modern ages and is able to dominate everyone until the right time arrives.

Strowman had been out of competition since his elbow injury and we saw him compete in his first match since TLC 2018.

While a lot happened between the time he competed in the ring, the notable events included him getting a chance to compete for the Universal Championship again, and him losing his chance to compete for the Universal Championship.

His match with Finn Balor was quite oddly placed by the creatives, as a loss to Balor would have hurt his overall impact going into the Royal Rumble Universal Championship match, while a loss to Strowman would have impacted his overall image.

Thankfully, they did not try to put Balor over by letting him pin Strowman and instead showed him come extremely close to victory before the match ended in a no result.
