In 2020, Braun Strowman won his first singles title in WWE. After a victory over then-WWE Intercontinental Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura, in a non-title match, Strowman earned himself a future shot at the title.

Shortly afterward, Braun Strowman entered the WWE Royal Rumble in hopes of potentially becoming a double champion down the road. However, Strowman was unable to win the Rumble.

Despite already having won the Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018 and the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal in 2019, a Royal Rumble victory was missing from Braun Strowman's resume.

Nevertheless, after the pay-per-view, Braun Strowman shifted his focus towards the WWE Intercontinental Championship once again. On January 31, Strowman defeated Nakamura in another match, this time for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

Despite outside interferences from Sami Zayn and Cesaro, The Monster Among Men was able to win his first singles title in WWE. However, within the space of a few days, Strowman dropped the title to Zayn in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match.

At WrestleMania 36, Braun Strowman stepped in to fill the void left by Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief withdrew himself from the show and his match against Golberg, and in stepped Strowman to save the day.

Despite WrestleMania 36 being held behind closed doors, Braun Strowman made history by winning the WWE Universal Championship. Not only did Strowman do so at The Grandest Stage of Them All but he also defeated the legendary Goldberg to win the belt.

The win definitely remains one of the most memorable moments of Braun Strowman's career. Having chased the WWE Universal Championship for months and after multiple unsuccessful attempts to win the title, Strowman finally won his first and what would eventually turn out to be his only world championship in WWE.

However, the only reason why Braun Strowman's Universal Title win finds a spot at #3 is because of the circumstances it occurred under. If The Monster Among Men had won the title in front of a regular WrestleMania audience, it definitely would've been the most memorable moment of Strowman's WWE career.

#2. Every time Braun Strowman flipped a vehicle in WWE

Braun Strowman was known for his sheer power and his massive strength that terrorized almost the entire WWE roster for years. Even Superstars of Roman Reigns' caliber had to suffer from Strowman's wrath time and time again.

'The Monster Among Men' proved why he is regarded as one of the most destructive Superstars to ever step foot in WWE.

During his feud with The Big Dog in 2017, Braun Strowman got the better of Reigns on several occasions. So much so that The Monster Among flipped an ambulance with Reigns loaded inside it, in what remains one of the most memorable moments from Strowman's WWE career.

That wasn't the only occasion when Strowman has flipped a vehicle. The Monster Among Men has done the same with a production truck, The Miz and John Morrison's van, and Mr. McMahon's limousine.

Strowman violating a vehicle in WWE has always been met with cheers from the WWE Universe and those were surely some of the best moments from his WWE career.

In the lead-up to WrestleMania 34, Braun Strowman earned himself a shot at the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships. However, the interesting part about it was that Strowman did not have a partner to team up with at The Grandest Stage of Them All and went on to pick 10-year-old Nicholas on the day of the event.

Son of WWE referee John Cone, Nicholas was picked by Braun Strowman from the crowd to join The Monster Among Men in the ring in front of almost 78,000 people. The duo then defeated champions Sheamus and Cesaro to win the RAW Tag Team Titles.

In doing so, Braun Strowman helped Nicholas in becoming the youngest champion in WWE history. Unfortunately for him, the 10-year-old had to relinquish the titles the next night on RAW due to a scheduling conflict.

Despite a mixed reception from the WWE Universe, Braun Strowman winning the RAW Tag Team Titles with Nicholas at WrestleMania certainly remains the most memorable moment in The Monster Among Men's WWE career.
