5 reasons replacing Braun Strowman in the MITB match was the right move

#3 A character change in the works?

The Wyatt Family

When Braun Strowman came on to the main roster, he was a part of The Wyatt Family and was a legit scary behemoth. Now though, he is a crowd-favorite babyface who although still causes destruction, but it just doesn't click. The WWE Universe is tired of seeing him topple vehicles and beat celebrities.

This loss could very well be the beginning of a character change for Strowman. The angle could see him suffer a bunch of losses due to interference, finally snapping the monster inside him. It's no secret that the babyface version of Strowman isn't working one bit, and a heel turn could do wonders for his waning career. Consider this scenario: a snapped Braun runs roughshod over the Raw roster, taking down heels at first, but later setting his sights on crowd-favorite babyfaces. Tonight's loss has left fans scratching their heads. But if this angle is handled in a correct manner, the same fans would look back at this moment months later, and praise the company for kicking off an incredibly executed heel turn.
