Possible Braun Strowman vs Roman Reigns Gimmick Match, Why There Wasn’t A WWE Draft This Year

Braun Strowman has taken himself to another level in recent weeks. He bombarded Roman Reigns while he was calling himself The Big Dog talking about how WWE is his yard now. Braun beat Roman within an inch of his life a couple of times, and tipped over his ambulance for good measure.

The next week on Raw, Braun Strowman and Big Show literally tore the house down when they broke the ring with a devastating superplex. Needless to say, Braun Strowman is proving more and more each week how he is The Monster Among Men.

But Roman Reigns isn’t done with Braun Strowman yet. Apparently the two will eventually clash. A singles match hasn’t been announced between the two of them just yet. But reports are when they do meet, the match will have a special gimmick stipulation.

CageSideSeats is reporting Braun vs Roman will be an ambulance match. This will be in honor of Braun Strowman’s feat of strength by flipping over the emergency vehicle with Roman Reigns was inside.

It’s been a while since WWE had a good ambulance match as the last one took place when Bray Wyatt defeated Dean Ambrose on January 5th, 2015. So, Braun vs Roman in an ambulance match should be a good one. Let’s just hope this isn’t the end of any kind of momentum for Braun Strowman because ambulance matches usually signify someone going over in definitive fashion. Unless they plan on Roman winning and Strowman kicking a hole in the side of the ambulance like the Incredible Hulk. That would be more than acceptable.

If you were wondering why WWE didn’t call their Superstar Shake-up a draft you aren’t alone. The fact of the matter is a lot of people were curious why WWE shook-up the usual name.

It didn’t feel like a draft with superstars just coming out and announcing they were on a different show now. But it all turns out you can just boil it down to another strange decision of wording from Vince McMahon.

On a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Live, it was revealed Vince McMahon just wanted to change the name. He apparently didn’t want to call it a draft anymore so he came up with the new Superstar Shake-up title instead. Yup, it was just another decision from Vince McMahon. So, there doesn’t need to be any more of a reason than that.
