Getting Ready To Rumble - Potential 2019 Royal Rumble Winners: Braun Strowman

The case against Braun Strowman

The biggest target will be on his back

Braun Strowman is the biggest, baddest superstar on the roster not named Brock Lesnar.

Nobody can dispute that.

However, the problem is, in Royal Rumble matches, the biggest, baddest superstar also has the biggest target on their back. How many Royal Rumbles did Big Show win? How about Kane? Exactly.

It could also be argued that Braun Strowman is being positioned for another role at WrestleMania 35; one that sees him take on the wrath of one or more McMahons. He did flip over Vince McMahon's limousine.

Stephanie McMahon once tried to fire him for creating an unsafe work environment. And Triple H was beaten up by Strowman after Survivor Series 2017. Indeed, it appeared at one point that Strowman was going to go up against the McMahons at last year's WrestleMania. Perhaps this is the year that will see him oppose them as an anti-authority babyface.

Also, whilst it has been reported that Strowman was not pulled from the Lesnar bout due to injury, reports can be wrong. Strowman cannot win the match if he has not been cleared to compete in it.
