Braun’s peak was at the Royal Rumble this year. Him loosing clean to Brock last year is something we saw coming but he seemed to continue building momentum. We get to the Rumble and with Kane there it was the perfect time to put the title on him without pinning Brock. That didn’t happen.
We then go to the Elimination Chamber and he eats finishers galor without being phased yet is pinned with one spear. He then turns face and teams with a kid at WM which kills any mystique he has as a monster. He then wins MITB yet his cash-in ends in a no contest...inside friggin HIAC. Then he turns heel and face again in the span of a month.
Bruan will win the title but like most guys these days his momentum has to be killed before they give it to him. He’s essetinally the new Big Show.

you can give him all the MITB cases you want man, but at the end of the day if he is an ingrate fool, righteous bastard who does not appreciate it and respects the game, then he is just a ant!
Apparently he has backstage heat for being a douche.
another case of too much too soon, aka Enzo Syndrome

I agree 100% and this is the problem that nxt creates. Fans get connected to the wrestlers on nxt that when they debut they want them pushed to the moon week one Braun didn’t even work NXT, he just got over naturally on the main roster. Yeah Braun’s not a good example, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen fans say the same night someone debuts on the main roster “oh he’s got to take the title from *blank*” like give them time to adapt to the main roster lol

It's difficult to see who he can feud with effectively because nobody is on his level physically. Corbin makes the most sense logically I guess, because he can manipulate stuff to give him an advantage. But really, I don't know who is a viable challenge to Braun. McIntyre and Lashley could be, but Drew shouldn't be losing right now, and neither should Braun.

Vince needs to stop living in the past. There are so many talented wrestlers that can be "the guy" and still goes with Brock. He must have a real hard on or him or something ? Even if the belt changes hands every few months, let's have someone who at least shows up every week. Braun could have been a good temp champ at least.

I used to be a small fan of Strowman, he was my least favourite form the Wyatt Family and i'd pick plenty of other talent over him, but at the time he was okay. Then it went downhill from there, the constant losses didn't give me any reason to care about him. Then the big factor for me, he's so one-dimensional. All he is every... single... week... is "GET THESE HANDS" and 'Generic Monster Roar and Yelling'. Brock Lesnar - You tell him...GET THESE HANDS. Corbin - You tell him... GET THESE HANDS.
Change it up for once, on top of him getting squashed at every turn, hearing the same thing every time gets pretty damn annoying. Like someone mentioned above, he doesn't have 'IT', he never did and i don't think he ever will. I personally consider the Braun Strowman project dead now, whether he wins the big one or doesn't, there's nothing to care about anymore and i feel people will start reacting like that.
Now... This may the 'over used' option but the way to go is Drew McIntyre. Drew has IT, he has what it takes to be what Strowman should have been and more, he has what it takes to match or even overtake Reigns. All the pieces are there. - A highly praised 'rookie' hand picked by Vince McMahon - The experiment - The downfall - The rebuild/redemption - The comeback - The takeover The story's there, and on top of this he has THE look, THE character and THE charisma. Drew is THE prime candidate to 'Slay The Beast' and become the face of WWE, him and Brock haven't crossed paths, Brock's decimated all the opposition, who's left? You could say Seth and by all means i would love him to be the one, but he's occupied with Ambrose right now and Drew is in the prime position to be the one.
With Drew's protection since returning, it's only fitting that he's the one to 'rid' Brock from WWE. WWE could even cut the promo of say: Drew, Brock and Paul in the ring. Drew - 'You've conquered the Deadman, you've conquered the Monster Among Men and you've conquered the Big Dog... But you haven't conquered the Scottish Psychopath. And the outcome is going to be far from what you're used to, i'm not like the others, because i will conquer you, i will Slay The Beast, and when i do, that Universal Championship will finally mean something' *Insert Scottish Accent*
It's all there, WWE just has to capitalise on it, this is the perfect feud for Brock and his limited appearances and the perfect feud for Drew to solidify him as a megastar, plus it leads them both into WrestleMania where it would be the perfect opportunity to have Lesnar vs McIntyre with Drew ultimately winning the Championship at Mania, becoming the biggest babyface in the company and sending part-time Brock back to UFC. Drew would be Champion and Brock would be in the UFC, a win win for both parties.

In the eyes of the WWE, Braun is still a top commodity for them. Vince knew he couldn't pass on the opportunity of having Lesnar both UFC & WWE Heavyweight Champion at the same time (even more so now Roman is out of the picture), and after investing so much in Roman finally toppling the Beast, Braun couldn't then just beat him too. You could tell that once again they had booked themselves into a corner, and knew Lesnar had to win whilst still trying to make Braun look strong. Ultimately, it was a quick squash, but at the same time in Vince's eyes they had Corbin sneak attack Braun Strowman, and Lesnar had to deliver 4 or 5 F5's to get the win.
Braun's best shot would be to go to Smackdown. The trouble is, the WWE sees only Roman and Brock Lesnar being worthy of holding the top Championship on the A Show, hence why it's less of a risk for the likes of AJ Styles, Nakamura, and come Wrestlemania Daniel Bryan, to be involved in the WWE Championship picture on the blue brand.

So I’m assuming you work backstage or know the guy personally. no mate i read the wrestling news (dirtsheets) And those reporting his “backstage heat” just clarified that this was during the early days of his push, and that nothing recent has occurred to put him in the doghouse. In other words they were speculating as to why WWE has never went all in with Braun, like we can’t all do that ourselves and discuss it here.
