• Possible WrestleMania 36 Plan For Braun Strowman
According to Tom Colohue, there’s a possibility that “The Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman teams up with Tyson Fury to take on some combination of King Corbin / Dolph Ziggler / Robert Roode at WrestleMania 36.
Below is what Colohue said:
“Now when he was in Manchester for the SmackDown taping, he did form the beginnings of a tag team with Braun Strowman. And I think the idea there is that they’ll protect how green and inexperienced he is in this field – as well as help potentially get him over.
That’s a key thing they’re going to be targeting right now – how to get Tyson Fury over.
Which is why I think if he’s at WrestleMania, which is very likely, he’ll be facing high-quality heels on his own brand – which is SmackDown.
So I suspect we’re going to see him face King Corbin or some combination of Fury/Strowman-Corbin/Ziggler or Corbin/Ziggler/Roode.”
As we have noted before, Tyson Fury’s involvement at WrestleMania 36 depends on the result of his Boxing match with Deontay Wilder on February 22nd.
