- After lots of talk about Braun Strowman vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the match is most likely not happening now.
According to The Observer, the current plan is for Strowman to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and go on to get a major push as WWE's new monster.
The idea is to build him to a feud with future WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and a potential pay-per-view match with Brock Lesnar. As noted, that match could happen at SummerSlam.
We noted before that there was talk of dropping the match due to fan backlash.
I dunno what made me more disappointed after reading all that. Him getting a title shot, being wasted on Lesnar or reading future heavy weight champion Roman Reigns.
You know what I'm fine with Strowman winning the Battle Royal, Hell I'd have him eliminate nearly everyone on the match, the WWE needs a new monster, and having Strowman dominate everyone in that match can add to it.
He's not facing Taker anymore, so I'm ok with this.
I assume the hardon for him would be Vince being a muscle guy and Stroman being a former strongman and having a chest so wide you could show a damn movie off it and shoulders that when on a 350 lbs frame make even a guy around 6'3 probably 260 or a hair more Luke Harper look like a kid comparatively. Obviously the guy is green as hell in all aspects.
Winning the AtG Battle Royal is exactly what he should do at Mania.
Everything else sounds ludicrous at this point. Wyatt has yet to have a 1on1 title match, how the fuck would they swing Strowman getting one? I smell BS.
Like I said in another thread it's like The Shield all over again, when The Shield was great they was portraying Dean to be the leader, then slowly they started saying that it was Roman that was the leader and look what happened with that. Now they'll do the same thing with Strowman, hell they might even change the name to the Strowman Family.
I just have no faith in WWE any more. I knew there was a bigger reason why they put Strowman into the Family in the first place. It now looks like Wyatt won't get anywhere which is a shame because him as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion could've been golden.
Give time to build him by throwing him into major feuds without even proving himself as a singles wrestler yet? Nothing against Strowman but this company never learns.
Whatever. He'll lose those feuds anyway and then Vince will move on to the next heel he sees potential in. :bored
im glad that strowman vs taker is off but at the same time thinking about reigns vs strowman feud gives me the lolz.
it will be a pee break for the fans
If they even think about doing Reigns/Strowman anytime in the next 6 months, it is going to be shit on, HARD. This is the kind of match I would walk out on, because unlike his match with Big Show where Show still was very experienced and smart in the ring, Strowman would have to be carried big time by Reigns.
You have to give Strowman some smaller singles feuds before thinking about this shit. WWE are fucking idiots to shove a IMMENSELY green guy, way greener than Reigns ever was, into a main event singles feud.

So Vince wants to push another guy that only shines as muscle stable?, I now what I'm going to say it's a concept so much ovni for WWE but.. what about push properly the leader of the faction first?, you know sometimes doing the logic thing works.
The last thing Reigns needs is a green as hell stumbling giant to feud with, they need to be putting top in ring talent to get great matches out of Reigns. I swear if this is true, Vince is really doing a great job of ruining his pet project. Braun is a Khali in waiting, he should be Wyatts lackey until they at least can get a match out of him.
He shouldn't be anywhere near Lesnar, did they not see them interact at the RR.
Vince's hard on for no talent giants continues.
