#3 The Monster Among Men’s new rival

Braun Strowman had been searching for his first singles Championship belt in WWE for a very long time. He managed to get a spot in several Championship rivalries, but it seemed like every time the fans got behind him, the company decided to pull back their investments in The Monster.
After many tries, Strowman finally got his chance against Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship. While no one can doubt The Artist’s talent in the ring, his reign as the Intercontinental Championship was ruined largely by the bookings he received and his character which was overshadowed by Sami Zayn’s work on the mic.

On the January 31 episode of SmackDown, Strowman defeated Nakamura to win the Intercontinental Championship, his first singles title in the WWE.
Now that Strowman has his first Championship belt, fans will be hoping that the company will give him enough build to get back to being a prominent star in the company. However, Bray Wyatt’s work at the top as the Universal Champion is sure to overshadow Strowman’s Intercontinental Championship run.
However, WWE could bring back the much-hated Shane McMahon to get him in a rivalry with Strowman and make their rivalry a talk of the town. Not only will this help Strowman become more of a babyface as Shane is a massive heel, but it will also pull fans’ interest into the storyline as all storylines involving Shane have been massive over the past two years.
