5 Breakthrough WWE Superstars of 2016

Baron Corbin’s first main roster feud was with Dolph Ziggler

#3 Braun Strowman

Once Braun Strowman was unleashed, he’s shined on his own.

Braun Strowman is one of the most destructive forces in the WWE right now. He is destroying everything in his path and has to be one of the favourites to win the Royal Rumble in 2017. Oddly enough, his main roster debut was as a happy gladiator as part of the Rosebuds when Adam Rose was promoted to the main roster.

When Luke Harper went down with a knee injury early in 2016, Strowman would be unveiled as a member of the Wyatt Family; however, it wasn’t until he was split from them in the WWE Draft that he began to take off.

We didn’t get to see much from Strowman in the ring as a member of the Wyatts, but since this summer’s draft, you can see that he’s a skilled man in the ring not only in power but speed as well.
