6 potential scenarios for Braun Strowman's WWE return

#2 Royal Rumble victory to face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35

Strowman vs Lesnar would be a Wrestlemania worthy match

Despite the fact that Strowman was written off for Royal Rumble 2019, it hasn't been confirmed that the reasoning was due to Strowman's elbow injury. For all we know, WWE may be tricking us into thinking that Strowman is still injured.

After all, we did see Strowman flip Vince McMahon's limousine over. Of course, he must've received help from technicians backstage, but it still would've taken plenty of strength to flip the entire car over even if he did receive assistance.

There is still that possibility that WWE wants to surprise the WWE Universe by having Braun Strowman's music hit during the 2019 Royal Rumble match, providing a huge pop just like Cena's return at Royal Rumble 2008, before going onto win the Royal Rumble match itself.

With Strowman losing to Brock Lesnar twice for the Universal Championship already, there may be a redemption storyline waiting for The Monster Among Men. Every single time that he has the opportunity to gain the title against Lesnar, he has always come out short whether it's losing the match or losing the title shot itself.

This could be a storyline to generate sympathy for Strowman, due to the fact that he has beaten everybody in the WWE except for Brock Lesnar himself. Despite the rumors that Seth Rollins will win the Royal Rumble 2019 match for a bout against Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35, but we will not know that until the actual Royal Rumble event itself.

The plans are constantly changing in the WWE, and all it takes is one minute for Vince McMahon to eventually decide that he wants Strowman to lead the company as the face. And if Strowman was to ever face Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35, there would be no doubt that he would finally capture the Universal Championship.
