#1. Hope isn't true: Plans for Braun Strowman's Universal Championship reign

Braun Strowman as Universal Champion

Braun Strowman finally won the Universal Championship that's been eluding him for the last three years at WrestleMania 36. It's clear that had Roman Reigns not pulled out, he would have been the man holding the Universal Championship.

Strowman might be the Champion purely by circumstance, but he has a major match at Money in the Bank against 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt. With Wyatt being the Universal Champion early this year, the plan seemed to have been for him to have a clash against Roman Reigns,

Tom Colohue told Korey Gunz on Dropkick DiSKussions that the plan might be to go back to where they were earlier this year, i.e, with Bray Wyatt as the Universal Champion:

"They've shown faith in Braun Strowman, but there's a lack of depth at the top of SmackDown. And that's why they've been bringing in John Cena and Goldberg. Now without Roman Reigns, there aren't many people left that Strowman can face, especially on the heel side. You've technically got Daniel Bryan, but he's a face and he's involved in something else. So there aren't that many opportunities. This, to me, looks like they're trying to revert back to what their plan was in January - to put the title on Bray Wyatt, again, and wait for Roman Reigns to be ready."

We hope this isn't true because Strowman deserves a longer reign as Universal Champion. With that said, the idea of Wyatt losing clean isn't a great one either.
