Braun Strowman is now the number one contender for the United States Championship, but his path there wasn’t clean. On Friday’s WWE SmackDown, he faced Jacob Fatu in a hard-hitting match cut short when Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga interfered, handing Strowman a disqualification victory.
In a digital exclusive after the show, Strowman addressed the outcome and what it means moving forward. “When you’re fighting three guys every week, you take a win however you can get it,” he said. “Disqualification, so be it. I’m the number one contender for the United States Championship right now.”
Strowman emphasized that the U.S. Title is the last piece of his WWE Grand Slam puzzle. “That’s the one title that has eluded me in my entire WWE career,” he explained. “I win the United States Championship, I’m a Grand Slam title, and a guaranteed shoe in WrestleMania.”
With WrestleMania drawing closer, Strowman has set his sights on completing his championship collection and securing his place on the year’s biggest stage.
