Braun Strowman managed to win his first World Championship at WrestleMania 36 by defeating Goldberg. While the original plan was to have Roman Reigns defeat Goldberg to become the Universal Champion, WWE had to make some last-minute changes due to Reigns opting out of WrestleMania due to the COVID-19 panic.

However, even though Strowman has become the Universal Champion, there is a high chance that he may just be a transitional Champion and the company is planning to put the belt back on The Fiend Bray Wyatt.

Here is what SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue had to say:

Now without Roman Reigns, there aren't many people left that Strowman can face, especially on the heel side. You've technically got Daniel Bryan, but he's a face and he's involved in something else. So there aren't that many opportunities. This, to me, looks like they're trying to revert back to what their plan was in January - to put the title on Bray Wyatt, again, and wait for Roman Reigns to be ready. (SportsKeeda)

He also stated that even though the company has shown faith in Strowman, there is a lack of depth in the top card of SmackDown, and the handling of the Monster Among Men after his big win has been a 'mixed bag'.
