4 Things SmackDown got right on this week’s episode (January 10. 2020)

#1 Strowman’s first Championship in sight

The two men put up a good performance in the ring

Braun Strowman has been actively competing in the ring for the company for over four years now but The Monster Among Men hasn’t hoisted even a single major title during that time.

While he’s won Tag Team Championships, the Superstar deserves to win a singles title as soon as possible in order to get over with the WWE Universe once again.

This week, Strowman took on the Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in a non-title match. Nakamura has held the title for almost six months now but hasn’t defended it even once each month.

The Intercontinental Championship seems to be the perfect start for Strowman who defeated Nakamura this week even though Cesaro and Sami Zayn tried their best to distract him and allow Nakamura to pick up the victory.

Strowman has had many ups and downs in his career and falters each time he’s been given a major Championship match by the creatives. Now that he’s gotten over in the Intercontinental Championship rivalry, he will likely get a Championship match at the Royal Rumble if not earlier.

The company should allow the big man to pick up his first major title before fans lose all interest in him at a time when smaller and more athletic Superstars are slowly beginning to take over.
