“The Monster among Men” returned on the 4/29 episode of RAW
“The Monster Among Men,” Braun Strowman, has made his long-awaited return to WWE following nearly a year on the sidelines due to a severe neck injury necessitating fusion surgery. During Night Two of the 2024 WWE Draft, he was drafted to “WWE Raw” on 29th April 2024 in the second round. Strowman’s last appearance on WWE television was in early May 2023, where he appeared to be set for a tag team push alongside Ricochet before his injury sidelined him.
As he has returned to WWE, let’s try to decode what plans could be in store for “The Monster among Men” Braun Strowman after his return from injury.
A possible heel turn
Strowman has demonstrated the ability to excel in both face (good guy) and heel (bad guy) roles throughout his career. His imposing physical presence and aggressive in-ring style make him a natural fit for a dominant heel character.
Additionally, his past experiences as a heel, including his time aligned with factions like The Wyatt Family, have been well-received by fans. Therefore, reintroducing Strowman as a heel could provide fresh storylines and engaging rivalries for WWE programming.
Intercontinental Title
Zayn recently won his title in WrestleMania 40, and if Strowman turns heel, he could challenge Zayn for his title, where, the stark contrast between Strowman’s imposing physicality and Zayn’s cunning and underhanded tactics could create a compelling dynamic for their feud.
Additionally, both wrestlers have demonstrated their ability to entertain audiences in various capacities, making their potential matchup an enticing prospect for fans. Strowman’s return and pursuit of championship gold could inject new excitement into the Intercontinental Title scene while providing an opportunity for engaging storytelling and memorable matches.
Joining Uncle Howdy
Braun Strowman’s history with Bray Wyatt makes him a natural candidate for ‘The Wyatt’ 6 stable. However, his current partnership with babyface superstars present a hurdle to his return. The tension between his past ties and present alliance could fuel compelling storytelling, as Strowman navigates his allegiances.
This conflict may shape his character development and interactions within the stable, adding depth to his storyline.
Going for the gold
We saw how “The Monster among Men” went after the members of The Judgment Day, so, Braun Strowman challenging Damian Priest for the World Title could be an electrifying matchup. Strowman’s imposing strength and aggressive style would contrast with Priest’s athleticism and resilience. This clash could showcase raw power against finesse, creating an intense battle for supremacy.
Additionally, their contrasting personas and in-ring abilities could lead to a captivating storyline, drawing fans into the rivalry and elevating the prestige of the World Title.
King of the Ring tournament
After Gunther and Sheamus, Braun Strowman could enter the King of the Ring tournament as a solo competitor. This decision could highlight Strowman’s individual prowess and determination to assert himself as a dominant force in WWE. As a solo participant, Strowman would face a diverse range of opponents, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities for him to showcase his strength, agility, and resilience on the path to potentially claiming the King of the Ring crown.
While “The Monster among Men” is back in action as of now, it will be important to see how Hunter plans everything for him on Monday Night Raw. Tune into Raw to see how the storyline progresses for “The Monster among Men” Braun Strowman.
