Braun Strowman has come close to becoming Universal Champion on multiple occasions but for reasons which aren't entirely clear, WWE has held back on pulling the trigger on a title run for the Monster Among Men on a number of occasions.
Now, he's weighed in on how that feels and admits that coming as close to the Universal Championship as he has on so many occasions has led to him feeling somewhat frustrated with his place in WWE.
"There is plenty of time, but yeah it is a little frustrating as it's been so close so many times. Literally had my fingertips on it, but its motivation to keep working harder. The big goal this year is getting back in that WWE Universal Championship picture as I have slid down the mountain a little bit. But I am going to keep clawing tooth and nail to get back as it's the one thing that's eluded me. I want it, I am hungry, and the monster's ready to eat."
Don't go thinking that these frustrations will lead to him considering leaving WWE, though. "I am here for the long haul," he adds. "I have no plans of leaving or going anywhere anytime soon. I love the WWE and the things they have done for me and my family. And I love the support of the fans. You are gonna see many more years of the monster causing destruction."
With any luck, we will see Strowman get his hands on a world title somewhere down the line. For now, there's no denying that he's cooled off somewhat and some work will need to be done in order to get him back to where he needs to be.
