#4 Braun Strowman (After winning his first WWE Universal Championship)
Back in 2017, the WWE Universe was clamoring for Braun Strowman to become the Universal Champion. This wish was fulfilled two and a half years later at WrestleMania 36. At the Show of Shows, the Monster Among Men defeated Goldberg to capture his first World Championship.
However, Strowman felt that the fans had turned on him by the time he won the big one. He explained it to Bleacher Report’s Graham Matthews:
“I was in the title picture all of last year,” Strowman said. “Sometimes fans are fickle, and it's hard to keep them happy. One minute, they wanted you to be champ. And the next minute, they hate you and don't want you to be champ. I was thinking of something: 'How can I stay relevant and do something to better our show and help our product without being in the title picture?'”
Between Wrestlemania 36 and WWE Wrestlemania Backlash 2021, Strowman has remained an integral part of the SmackDown roster. His feud with Bray Wyatt was among the most talked about storylines of the Performance Center era.
