5 dream matches for Braun Strowman outside of WWE

Braun Strowman was one of the biggest surprises in terms of WWE releases this year. The Monster Among Men is a former WWE World Champion and was seemingly one of their top stars.

Since his release, he has indicated that he's open to bookings but we are yet to see the giant wrestler make an appearance for another wrestling promotion. This has led people to wonder where he'll end up, and when he'll end up wherever that is.

But what people should really be thinking about is who they'd like to see Braun Strowman wrestling. A big deal has been made about the matchups that are possible because of the 'forbidden door' being opened. However, being a free agent is the ultimate 'forbidden door'. Anything is possible.

So, here are five wrestlers outside of WWE that are dream opponents for Braun Strowman.


#5. Kenny Omega takes on the giant Braun Strowman in AEW

Kenny Omega is arguably the best in the world. He's been killing it as AEW's Champion and is also having great matches for pretty much every wrestling company under the sun (or just IMPACT and AAA).

However, none of Omega's opponents, as far as we can remember, have ever been as big as Braun Strowman. Therefore, it would definitely be interesting to see the two men square off in the squared circle.

Not just because Omega could very well get a classic match out of Strowman, which is better than we've ever seen from him. It's also because Strowman presents unique challenges we've never seen Omega need to overcome before. It's very rare he wrestles against anyone he can't hit with the One Winged Angel.

#4. Jon Moxley could have a great all-out brawl with Braun Strowman

Jon Moxley and Braun Strowman are certainly no strangers to each other in WWE. However, there's certainly no denying that Jon Moxley is an entirely different wrestler since leaving Dean Ambrose behind.

Moxley is a lot freer to wrestle matches that interest him, such as death matches. There's definitely a lot of interest in Moxley having a violent bloody affair with Strowman, for entertainment reasons.

Plus, the two men can exploit the experience they have coming from their time in WWE together. That familiarity can be used to hopefully put on a match with fantastic chemistry.


#3. Will Ospreay could put on an amazing clash of styles with Braun Strowman

The Aerial Assassin is currently out of action following an injury that forced him to relinquish the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. However, when he returns, there's one person we'd love to see him against.

You guessed it. It's Braun Strowman. Braun Strowman would be a great opponent for Ospreay. It'd be exciting to see what a huge base like Strowman could enable Ospreay to do in the ring.

Strowman would be perfect in NJPW as the promotion is lacking a true giant like him. There are no many extremely talented wrestlers hovering over that line between Cruiserweight and Heavyweight like Ospreay, Ibushi and Takagi for him to put over or demolish.

#2. PCO and Braun Strowman could be one of the most entertaining things

When it comes to dream opponents for Braun Strowman, it's doubtful many would've picked PCO. Believe it or not, he was a Ring of Honor World Champion not too long ago, but he's also one of the most unique and interesting wrestlers in professional wrestling at the moment and a near-perfect choice.

We've seen glimpses of what Braun Strowman can do as a half-serious, half-comedic wrestler and he does it really well. Therefore, he and PCO could rub off on each other really well.

These two could potentially put an amazing program together. Obviously it won't be the best display of technical wrestling anyone has ever seen. But it might very well be the most entertaining.


#1. IMPACT Wrestling's Fallah Bahh gives Braun Strowman a unique hoss fight

Sometimes in professional wrestling you just want to see the two biggest dudes around come to blows in the middle of the ring. Whilst we've seen Strowman face off against other big dudes in WWE, there's a big dude in IMPACT he hasn't fought.

That guy is Fallah Bahh, who is an absolute unit in IMPACT. He would give Strowman a run for his money if the two titantic men were to ever come to blows. It would certainly be a ring-shaking affair.

Plus, Strowman could be the very opponent that Bahh needs to reach the next level in IMPACT Wrestling, which is definitely something we'd like to see happen eventually.
