Braun Strowman finally won his first world title in WWE when he pinned Goldberg at WrestleMania earlier to become the WWE Universal Champion, albeit in strange circumstances and no storyline. Roman Reigns pulling out of the Showcase Of Immortals due to concern over the ongoing coronavirus pandemic presented Strowman with the opportunity of a lifetime, and he grabbed it with both hands.

The Monster Among Men is currently engrossed in a deeply personal feud with his former stablemate Bray Wyatt/The Fiend. Speaking of The Wyatt Family, Strowman debuted on the main roster in 2015, and during his time as the Black Sheep of the stable, he used the Lifting Arm Triangle Choke (a variant of the Bear Hug Choke) to pass out opponents with his bare hands.

The mere sight of The Monster Among Men making the likes of Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, and Titus O'Neil lifeless in his huge arms struck fear in the hearts of fans and immediately established him as the next big guy in WWE. Thus, it is so surprising that he ditched the choke completely when competing as a singles competitor, and even changed his finisher from the Yokosuka Cutter to the Running Powerslam.

Strowman is undoubtedly the strongest WWE Superstar on the roster and should add a submission move to his repertoire. It will add more depth to his moveset and freshen up his offensive arsenal, and also portray him as the dominant monster he once was. In my opinion, the Lifting Arm Triangle Choke into the Running Powerslam would be a great way to end his matches.
