The Monster Among Men is not only one of the biggest Superstars to ever step foot in a WWE ring, but he also possesses an impressive body that's the result of years of determination and hard work on his part. The current WWE Universal Champion on SmackDown once used to weigh 418 pounds, around 7 years ago.

People putting on a lot of weight oftentimes struggle with doing the most basic tasks, and Braun's case wasn't any different. He once revealed that he had trouble while tying his shoelaces, and his girlfriend used to do it for him.
I'm actually down in weight. When I competed in the World's Strongest Man [2013] the heaviest I ever was at 418 pounds. I was miserable. My girlfriend at the time had to tie my shoes. I couldn't bend over because I was so big, but God bless was I strong. I don't miss being that big at all.
During his WWE stint, Strowman has posted his transformation pictures several times on his Instagram, showing how far he has come.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
