Braun Strowman is a true successor of the elite league of monsters that WWE produced.
McMahon and Co. always have a preference for the bigger roster members on the show. It is why we have seen Andre the Giant, King Kong Bundy, Vader, Big Show, Great Khali, Umaga and more on the roster.
All of them have become alumni superstars of the roster. Hence WWE promoted Braun Strowman to capture the spot left by these superstars.
He dominated the roster like no one else over the course of past two years. He had done incredible things from destroying Roman Reigns to toppling an ambulance.
In fact, Braun Strowman is the only one who manhandled Brock Lesnar like no other superstar. He remains the only one to backfire against the reigning Universal Champion. It was his misfortune that WWE creative team had planned to let Lesnar have a lengthy reign. They wanted to break CM Punk’s record through him. Hence, Strowman did not receive the title from the beast despite domination.
But there’s no doubt that this behemoth is no less than the Conqueror in the WWE when it comes to physical strength.
An interviewer asked him to compare his strength with that of Brock Lesnar recently. It happened at the Red Carpet Report before WWE’s “For Your Consideration” (FYC) Emmy event.
The monster among men praised the Master of the ‘Brocktagon’, as one of the all-time greats in the WWE. Plus, he stated both of them share an equal strength. No one should be bigger than one another. Here’re his comments, (courtesy wrestingINC.com),
“Oh man, I don’t know, Brock is a tough individual. It depends on what style you’re (to) talk about; as far as strength-wise, I believe I’m a good bit strong than him, but if it’s things like technique and stuff like that, then I know he’s a lot more advance [in] that, so it’s a 50/50 thing. Brock’s a tough individual, but I like to think I am as well.”
Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman had feuded over the Universal Championship for several months. They had a match at the No Mercy PPV last year. Then a triple threat match took place at Royal Rumble 2018 including Kane. Lesnar retained the championship on both the occasions.
