"The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman is an intense juggernaut of destruction in WWE. Most recently, this monster defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and won the prestigious Intercontinental Championship. Strowman has already made 2020 the year of the monster, joining an elite class with Hall of Fame legends like "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat -- all of whom have worn Intercontinental gold.
Who on SmackDown is stupid enough and/or tough enough to get in the way of Strowman during the year of the monster? Without further ado, here are 10 superstars from the blue brand who should "get these hands" in 2020.
10 King Corbin
There may come a time in 2020 where Corbin decides a monster must be vanquished from his kingdom. The 2019 King of the Ring may also want to acquire more gold and glory in the form of the IC Championship, a highly coveted prize that Strowman holds.
A feud between King Corbin and Strowman can carry SmackDown's mid-card scene for months to come. And as a result of the king's ambitiously encroaching ways, he's likely to "gets these hands" in 2020.
9 Dolph Ziggler
Considering that The Showoff is one of Corbin's henchmen, any feud involving the king will also likely showcase Dolph Ziggler. The two-time World Heavyweight Champion would both be a great candidate for an IC Title shot and to "get these hands" going into 2020.
Ziggler, like many other superstars, would most likely not come out on top against Strowman. However, a win over a former world champion would certainly benefit The Monster Among Men in 2020.
Maybe, this year, Ziggler will fall back into WWE's good graces and won't get squashed by Strowman. But considering the former world champion is now the lackey of an upper mid-card performer, it's looking more and more likely that Ziggler will "get these hands" to put over The Monster Among Men.
8 Robert Roode
Much like Ziggler, if King Corbin gets involved in a feud with Strowman, Robert Roode is also likely to "get these hands." Roode is also an adequate candidate to challenge Strowman for the strap, considering "The Glorious One" is a former champion in WWE and a past headliner of both NXT and TNA Impact Wrestling.
However, Roode is more likely to "get these hands" while trying to assist his king in a potential feud for the Intercontinental Championship. Presently, Roode is most likely to help his leader Corbin win a singles title rather than challenge for one himself. If the former NXT Champion does step up to Strowman this year, the end result would likely be the opposite of glorious.
7 Shinsuke Nakamura (Again)
Former Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura has a lot of beef with Strowman in 2020. Nakamura wants his belt back and is willing to take the fight right to the monster by almost any means necessary.
On the last episode of SmackDown, Nakamura leveled The Monster Among Men with a Kinshasa. Strowman will likely be looking for payback and may even battle The Artist at the upcoming Super ShowDown event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The only downside to that potential match is that Nakamura's manager Sami Zayn will likely not be able to attend the event for political reasons.
Most recently, "The King of Strong Style" has recruited two more men in his fight against the monster. The Revival is now on Nakamura's side and will likely put Strowman's title reign in jeopardy.
6 Scott Dawson
The Rival's Scott Dawson recently inserted himself in Nakamura's feud against Strowman. On the most recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Dawson and his tag team partner Dash Wilder ambushed The Monster Among Men from behind while he was distracted by Nakamura and Sami Zayn on the entrance ramp.
Strowman was eventually able to overcome both members of The Revival, sending Dawson to the mat with a big boot to the head. As Strowman's feud with Nakamura progresses, it's more than likely that Dawson will "get these hands."
Meanwhile, Strowman hit Wilder in the head, laying out the multi-time tag team champion with at least one of his hands. Technically, Wilder only "got this hand" and didn't "get these hands" of Strowman.
5 Sami Zayn
"The Underdog of the Underground" Sami Zayn has been an annoying torn in the side of Strowman in the new year. Before Strowman finishes his feud with Nakamura, he's likely to also monsterhandle Zayn and silence this irritating mouthpiece.
Zayn may even end up facing Strowman in a wrestling match this year as he did in the past. However, it's more likely that Zayn will "get these hands" while serving in his managerial role with "The King of Strong Style." The next time Strowman and Nakamura do battle, there's a good chance that Zayn will "get these hands" at ringside.
4 Sheamus
"The Celtic Warrior" Sheamus is looking to make an impact on the SmackDown roster going into 2020. As of late, the four-time world champion has already annihilated superstars such as Shorty G and Apollo Crews. And since The Fella is already looking for a fight, why not step up to "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman?
Sheamus has never won the Intercontinental Championship, a title which would look excellent on The Fella's resume. Win or lose, if Sheamus gets in the way of Strowman, he's more than likely going to "get these hands."
3 The Miz
Considering that The Miz recently turned heel and is usually always hungry for championship gold, there's a good chance that The Hollywood A-Lister will get the hands of Braun Strowman if he dares challenge for the monster's gold. The Miz may also "get these hands" if he tries to help his partner John Morrison conquer The Monster Among Men for the IC Title. Matter of fact, The Miz may just "get these hands" because Strowman felt like it.
It's not hard to imagine The Hollywood A-Lister irritating Strowman enough for the monster to lose his temper and attack. In 2020, there's also the possibility of The Miz capturing his record-tying ninth Intercontinental Championship reign. However, while Strowman is champion, The Miz might just be out of luck.
2 John Morrison
"The Guru of Greatness" John Morrison is already a three-time Intercontinental Champion. In 2020, he might want to update his resume to four IC Title reigns. And if Morrison wants to once again reign supreme as IC Champion this year than he might want to step up to the current champion who's also "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman.
If Morrison steps up to Strowman in 2020, he's more than likely to "get these hands." But there's also the chance that The Shaman of Sexy and The Miz will pull off something underhanded and cost Strowman the IC Title either to The Friday Night Delight or to The Hollywood A-Lister.
1 "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
Strowman has proven before in the past that he has serious potential as a main event player and future world champion. Therefore, The Monster Among Men would be a great candidate for a feud with WWE Universal Champion "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt in 2020. Strowman and Wyatt have already battled over the title during the dark match main event of the 2019 edition of Starrcade, which shows that WWE might be considering introducing a feud between the two on television.
Wyatt will more than likely "get these hands" if these two men do battle. However, considering the dark force of The Fiend, Strowman will also likely lose in the feud no matter how much punishment he dishes out. Even if Strowman comes up short in this potential feud against The Fiend, it won't hurt the monster's stock much considering Wyatt is currently a nearly unstoppable force in the ring.
A showdown between The Fiend and Strowman, particularly one inside Hell in a Cell, has the potential to be a highly entertaining and memorable encounter. By that time, Strowman would have likely graduated from his role as IC Champion and moved on to the Universal Title picture. Perhaps The Fiend will cost Strowman the Intercontinental gold before their match, adding fuel onto the fire for this potential feud. There's also the chance of there being a champion verses champion match between both Strowman and Wyatt as a headlining affair. Either way, a showdown between The Monster Among Men and The Fiend would be epic.
