WWE SmackDown on FOX: 3 Reasons why Tyson Fury vs Braun Strowman should not have been booked

#2 Strowman could get hurt

Braun Strowman is dubbed as the Monster Among Men for a reason. He is billed at 6’8” and 385 pounds, making him one of the biggest and baddest guys in WWE. However, giants are also susceptible to injuries, and given that he is going to face a boxer in a WWE ring, there is a chance for a lot of things to go wrong.

Last week on RAW, Tyson Fury landed some punches on multiple people. His hands were quick – which is expected from a boxer – but none of his punches landed properly, and some didn’t touch the intended person.

After the ring was cleared, he knocked down Cesaro and even then, he botched both the forearm punches. It not only shows that he is still inexperienced in the world of wrestling, but it is also a red flag for what’s to come at Crown Jewel.

He has punched as a boxer all his life, and it is only natural for him to find it difficult to make the punches look believable while also not hurting the opponents, which is why he played it safe and barely even touched any of the guys he punched on RAW.

However, at Crown Jewel, should one of his punches really hit Strowman at its usual intensity, the Monster Among Men could be really hurt and – in the worst case scenario – be even knocked out then and there.

And that wouldn’t be a good image for the company.
