4. Braun Strowman’s Push Cancelled?
We noted before WrestleMania 32 that Vince McMahon was very high on Wyatt Family’s Braun Strowman and was planning a huge push for him, which would begin at WrestleMania 32, where he was scheduled to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
However, we saw Strowman getting laid out by The Rock with a Rock Bottom at WrestleMania 32.
Word is that Strowman’s push might have been cancelled after negative reaction from the fans, especially after word got out that he was being considered as an opponent for The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32.
There were plans for Strowman to face Brock Lesnar this year, possibly at SummerSlam 2016, but those plans have changed and Lesnar vs. Bray Wyatt might be taking place at SummerSlam 2016.
