5 Shocking things Vince McMahon could be planning after Braun Strowman's injury

After announcing Braun Strowman's unfortunate elbow injury, WWE are now in a state of vulnerability, with most of their main stars on Monday Night Raw sidelined due to several reasons.

Since the Monster Among Men was scheduled to lock horns with Baron Corbin at WWE TLC, the brutal annihilation he suffered at the hands of Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre could see Vince McMahon making some serious alterations in the product.

While the seriousness of the injury is still up in the air, it seems likely that Strowman could be taking some few weeks off from the red brand.

There's no denying that the company has to bring something sensational on the table next week in order to keep the fans anticipated before heading into 2019.

With Vince McMahon's plans for WrestleMania 35 already hindered due to the heartbreaking exit of Roman Reigns, how will Strowman's injury factor into the entire scenario on Raw?

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and analyze the 5 shocking things Vince McMahon could be planning after Braun Strowman's injury.

#1 Giving more attention to Finn Balor's 'Demon King' gimmick

It's now or never for Finn Balor

With Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman sidelined from the red brand, Monday Night Raw definitely needs to elevate other superstars that can join the spotlight.

There's no superstar on the roster except Drew McIntyre that is enjoying more spotlight than anyone else. While Bobby Lashley and Dean Ambrose do have potential, but they might not propel the push McIntyre is getting.

One superstar who could get the benefit of the opportunity is Finn Balor. As directionless as Finn is at this point, this could be a wake-up call for the company to either push him to the top or wait for him to drown to mediocrity again.

Concentrating more on Finn's demon persona could make things pretty interesting on Monday Night Raw and would give a new life to the longest reigning NXT Champion.

While he has been facing the wrath of Drew McIntyre, his alter ego could take the Scottish Terminator to his limits and bring some legitimacy to his character and stature.

#2 Pushing Bobby Lashley as Brock Lesnar's next opponent

Will the Dominator end the Beast Incarnate?

Widely hailed as a potential dream match, Bobby Lashley Vs. Brock Lesnar possesses all the ingredients of a legitimate classic if booked correctly.

After a disappointing face run, Lashley's current alignment with Lio Rush has brought him some appreciation and adulation from the WWE Universe, making him a threat to the Universal Champion.

Since he defeated Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules and went nowhere after it, he certainly deserves a shot at the Universal Championship held by Brock Lesnar.

There's no denying that a feud between the two could take Monday Night Raw by storm, especially after the unfortunate injury of the Monster Among Men.

While plans have been for the Beast Incarnate to defend the Universal Title against Braun Strowman at the Royal Rumble, his injury could invite the possibility of seeing Lashley as a potential opponent for the Universal Champion.

#3 Debuting Lars Sullivan as a member of the Wyatt Family

This could be fantastic

Since Vince McMahon is such an admirer of guys with great physical strength, it definitely feels like Lars Sullivan will make a solid impact on Monday Night Raw.

With the company usually utilizing their debut talent as an invincible force, bringing Sullivan as a member of the Wyatt Family could be pretty shocking and rejuvenating.

We all know that Bray Wyatt has struggled to make his presence felt on the red brand and while he could be in line to make the transition back, bringing Lars Sullivan as his next monster could make for some fantastic storyline.

Considering that the Eater of Worlds continues to mock Braun Strowman as his greatest creation, Sullivan's intervention in the story could bring these two together.

A potential clash between the two in the future could be something that Vince approves of, and would make Monday Night Raw a more interesting show than it is now.

#4 Drew McIntyre or AJ Styles winning Royal Rumble and challenging Brock Lesnar for Universal Championship

Are we ready for what is coming?

We all are aware of Vince McMahon's adulation for Drew McIntyre. The Boss is leaving no stone unturned in pushing the former NXT Champion to the next level on Monday Night Raw.

Since he feels like the only superstar from the red brand who could dethrone the Universal Champion, there are significant rumors that are suggesting that the Phenomenal One could also be in line to face the Beast at WrestleMania 35.

If these rumors are anything to take into consideration, then the Royal Rumble match in 2019 could very well be the most unpredictable Royal Rumble in recent memory.

While I definitely find McIntyre's coronation at the Show of Shows to be a more interesting thing considering the kind of talent he has and the fact that Vince is behind him, I wouldn't disagree on seeing AJ Styles winning the Royal Rumble and slaying the Beast.

#5 Batista returns for a final match with Brock Lesnar

This is epic

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Braun Strowman's unfortunate injury has sidelined him for a while and despite the seriousness of his injury, the company definitely needs a legitimate story on the red brand.

Batista's return to the squared circle could take Monday Night Raw by storm and since Triple H has been ruled out of WrestleMania 35, the Animal could challenge Brock Lesnar.

There's no denying that both the competitors have never collided on a platform of this stature, and with Vince McMahon coerced to make some serious alterations, Batista's return could be epic.

The fans would definitely love the idea of seeing these two collide at WrestleMania 35 with a Career Vs. Title stipulation on the line to make things more interesting.

Since the Monster Among Men would eventually lose to the Beast Incarnate, a match with the Animal at the Show of Shows for the Universal Champion would be a victory for the WWE Universe.
