Braun Strowman saw a dramatic change in his career in the last 2 years. A few years ago, WWE introduced Strowman as one of the Adam Rose's "Rosebuds". Not to mention, it was not something that fits Strowman.

The Monster Among Men then wrestled many matches under the name Braun Stowman and defeated Chad Gable in his first match in an NXT Live Event. WWE then readjusted his name when he joined The Wyatt Family. Most of the fans are not aware of this name change as Strowman only used it during NXT live events.

In 2015, Bray Wyatt introduced Braun Strowman to the WWE Universe as a new recruit of The Wyatt Family. However, the 2016 brand split separated him from the group. Since then the WWE is pushing him as a monster but still, Strowan has not won any titles in the WWE except the Raw Tag Team Championships.
