5 wrestlers WWE couldn't cope without

#3 Braun Strowman

Strowman is now a legitimate contender for the Universal Championship

Two years ago, it would have seemed crazy to suggest that Braun Strowman would ever be one of WWE's Most Valuable Players. Like Big Show and The Great Khali before him, he appeared to be little more than a sideshow novelty act whose popularity would soon fizzle out.

Oh, how wrong we were. Not only does The Monster Among Men continue to command some of the best crowd reactions anywhere in the company, he's now a legitimate contender for the Universal Championship, and could well be the man who ends Brock Lesnar's run this summer.

Without him, Monday Night Raw would be a far less interesting place. We'd probably be left watching endless repeats of Lesnar versus Roman Reigns, for a start, and nobody (except Vince McMahon) wants to see that again after the disaster of WrestleMania 34.
