#2 Braun Strowman breaks the elimination record
Braun Strowman likes throwing people. Lucky for him, that’s exactly what the Royal Rumble match is all about.
Strowman is being booked as WWE’s biggest monster heel possibly ever. He hasn’t even sniffed a singles loss since being drafted to Raw and routinely destroys his opponents. This has led some to believe Strowman will win the Royal Rumble this Sunday.
While we don’t think that will happen, it doesn’t have to, for him to make an impact.
The current record for most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble belongs to Roman Reigns who tossed out 12 other superstars in 2014. Strowman could and should break this record.
This will be Strowman’s first Rumble since he was revamped after the draft. He has become the biggest monster in WWE since last year and even though he dominates the opposition every week, this should be his coming out party.
The venue and magnitude of the event are perfect to establish Strowman as a true star on one of WWE’s biggest stages.
Strowman should toss out 13+ competitors in front of the 40,000+ people at the Alamodome. It could be a star-making performance for the monster among men. If anyone wasn’t convinced that Strowman was the next big thing, this would undoubtedly change their minds.
