Braun Strowman faced Bronson Reed in a Last Monster Standing match during the latest episode of WWE RAW. Thanks to an opportune assist from Seth Rollins, who made his surprise return and attacked Reed, Strowman managed to secure the win.
Unfortunately, it seems this might be the last time we see Strowman in action for a while. During the match, the former Universal Champion appeared to have torn his groin muscles, which could sideline him for quite some time.
Here are four potential replacements for Braun Strowman on Monday Night RAW moving forward.

#4. Hikuleo
Braun Strowman is one of the special attractions on Monday Night RAW due to his imposing presence. There's possibly no one on the current roster who can match the size and strength of The Monster Among Men. Therefore, WWE will need to find a suitable replacement who can fill that spot as the dominant giant.
One possible name is Hikuleo, the son of the legendary Haku, who reportedly recently signed with WWE. There were initial reports which suggested that he was headed to NXT. However, Strowman's injury could open the door for the 33-year-old star to be fast-tracked to the main roster and receive an immediate push.
#3. Omos
When Omos made his debut, there were all signs that he was destined to be WWE's next dominant big man. However, the 7ft 3in giant seems to have fallen out of favor with the creative team. He has been absent from regular television programming for a while, and with his manager MVP leaving the company, Omos' future in WWE remains uncertain.
That being said, Omos could potentially step in as a replacement for Braun Strowman on Monday Night RAW. This could be an opportunity to rebuild The Nigerian Giant, giving him a renewed push and a more prominent role moving forward.
#2. Oba Femi
Oba Femi is the current NXT North American Champion and is widely regarded by many fans as the future of WWE. He has already established himself as one of the top prospects for the company with a dominant championship run on the developmental brand. Now may be the right time for him to transition to the main roster.
Femi is scheduled to defend his title against Tony D'Angelo on next week's episode of NXT. If he drops the title there, it could pave the way for his main roster debut.
#1. Brock Lesnar to make his WWE return?
Brock Lesnar has been out of action since his last match of the trilogy against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023 last year. While there were seemingly plans for his return earlier this year, those were reportedly shelved after his name was allegedly mentioned in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon.
With Braun Strowman potentially sidelined for an extended period, RAW General Manager Adam Pearce could make a call to bring back The Beast Incarnate. Brock Lesnar’s return would immediately shake up the main event scene on RAW. He could potentially challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, a feud which the Stamford-based company had reportedly planned for WrestleMania 40.
