That’s how you make him seem to be a monster. Braun Strowman is one of the top stars in WWE and there’s a very good chance that he’s going to be the Universal Champion when Crown Jewel comes to an end this Friday. That means he needs to be treated as a top star, which is one of the areas where WWE shines. If they do things right, he could become an even bigger deal than he is now. Maybe something like this can help.
Well I’m scared.
In honor of Halloween, WWE has put together a highlight reel of Strowman, set up to look like an old school horror movie trailer. The video looks at how Strowman is a monster who wrecks everything and everyone in his path. There are also clips of some of his bigger and more famous moments, with a bit of an Easter egg near the end in the form of a producer’s credit.
Opinion: WWE does know how to make these things rather creative and that’s the kind of thing that can be catchy enough to work. As long as they don’t turn Strowman into a comedy guy, he’s going to be fine. Odds are he’s going to win the Universal Title on Friday and that means we can see just how far he can go. Strowman has been on the verge of getting there for a long time and this kind of video suggests that WWE is ready to ride him for awhile.
What do you think of this kind of video? Will Strowman win the title? Let us know in the comments below.
