#2. Who's next for Braun Strowman?

At long last
At long last

Even in unfortunate situations, the truth is that one superstars' loss is another's gain. In this case, Roman Reigns pulling out of WrestleMania 36 resulted in Braun Strowman being the biggest beneficiary of them all.

Strowman was a last-minute replacement for Roman Reigns and no explanation was given as to why The Big Dog pulled out. We feared that this could have been Strowman's last opportunity at the World title and we're glad that our fears were put to rest as Strowman defeated Goldberg in 130 seconds to win the Universal Championship.

It took Strowman close to three years since his first Universal title shot and he deserves to win the title. Most people would agree that Strowman should have won the Championship in late 2017 or early 2018 while he was the hottest star in WWE, but the company never wanted to pull the trigger on him, preferring to focus RAW on Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar instead.

As for who's next for Braun Strowman, the two most likely options are Roman Reigns (given the situation), or 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt. It's going to be an interesting first title defense for him.
