What does the win mean for the Monster Among Men?

#4 A passing of the torch

Braun Strowman was, by far, the favorite when he came into the match. If you look at him, you can see the physical similarities between him and Andre the Giant. In an era where so many WWE Superstars are smaller and more agile, Strowman stands out as a 'monster among men'.

Andre The Giant isn't around to pass on the torch to a man who could logically be his successor in WWE. And therefore, in a lot of ways, this is a way for WWE to establish the heir apparent with this win. Braun Strowman will be the big man in the WWE roster for the foreseeable future in coming years.

The Big Show would have been the logical successor to Andre The Giant but he's taken on more of a part-time role in WWE, in his advanced years. It was a passing of the torch but in a very different way.
