1) The Backstage Perception Of Braun Strowman
According to journalist Tom Colohue, the backstage perception of Braun Strowman (among WWE management) has improved over the several months.
Here is what Colohue had to say about what people in WWE think of Strowman:
A lot of people have always been fans of Braun Strowman, but right now, more people than ever before are very big fans of Braun Strowman. The WWE is very happy how his first title run went. They very much essentially just wanted to dip his toe in the water, and they are very impressed with how he stepped up in the last moment to essentially strap the entire Blue brand on his back. We didn’t have Bray Wyatt that heavily feature. Roman Reigns wasn’t there, Sami Zayn wasn’t there. Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles, well, AJ Styles was still on RAW at the time. So Daniel Bryan was the only top star left when Braun became the Champion. He had to carry the whole darn thing. Right now, there are a lot of people on his side, by some accounts more people than ever before. And I think we will see him become Champion again.”
My Take:
- I do think that Braun did a good job as a replacement Champion in the absence of Roman Reigns. He seems to be a true company guy that WWE can always rely on. He seems like a guy that will be in WWE for life, similar to the Big Show.
