Could we see these WWE Superstars in the title picture soon?

#3 Braun Strowman (WWE RAW)

Barun Strowman could use a good title reign

The last time we saw Braun Strowman in WWE was on the episode of RAW that followed Survivor Series 2020. During the show, all the RAW’s Survivor Series team members were fighting about who should get a chance to challenge Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship. Strowman wasn’t happy that he was not directly chosen as McIntyre’s next challenger and ended up attacking Adam Pearce.

This led to his indefinite suspension from WWE (kayfabe, of course). There were rumors about him sustaining an injury, and he is expected to make his return sometime this year. When he makes his return on the Red brand, Strowman should definitely get a shot at the title. His heel turn came at an exciting point, especially if you consider the recent changes in his personality and in-ring maneuvers.

Strowman has evidently worked hard on both his in-ring skills as well his mic skills that reflected a positive change in his demeanor. Even if WWE doesn’t want him to get his hands on the title just yet, he can certainly look like a credible challenger for the world title. Strowman has a lot of potential, and he can stir things up in the WWE Championship picture – something that RAW desperately needs amidst its battle against low viewership.
