Strowman is still in his early years in WWE, so there's plenty of things the WWE Universe don't know about the mysterious big man.
Here are 6 things you (probably) didn't know about Braun Strowman.
#6 He worked at a nightclub
Before entering the wrestling world, Strowman was able to use his large size at a nightclub, as a bouncer, stopping those who would take things too far.
Working in Charlotte, North Carolina (a city not too far from his hometown of Sherrills Ford) Strowman has said he didn't use his raw strength too often, saying that he would often "talk most people out of doing something silly.
#5 He can eat -- A LOT!
Being a big man takes work, and Strowman is no exception. Before joining the WWE, he competed as a strong man and would eat up to 12,000 calories a day to keep up his training regimen (that is nearly 25 Big Macs, every single day)
In these 12,000 calories, he would consume 1kg of protein and would make daily trips to Burger King for their Triple Whopper Combo (with cheese, of course)
In one instance, the Monster's girlfriend would have to tie his shoes for him, as he was unable to reach down to tie them himself.
#4 He has slimmed down
Strowman has been able to lose a considerable amount of weight since joining WWE and has cut his fast-food diet to 2 or 3 times a week, favouring protein bars instead.
Like all WWE superstars, Strowman carefully watches what he eats, but a mix of his natural size and intense training means he still chows down on approximately 6,000 calories a day.
#3 He is a 'Mansquatch'
During his WWE tenure, Strowman has received multiple nicknames, including 'the Monster Among Men', and more recently the 'Monster in the Bank', following his ladder match victory.
But even before he joined, Strowman was labelled. As a part of the strongman world, Strowman was nicknamed 'Big Country' and 'Mansquatch', referring to his incredible size and strength.
#2 He was scouted by Mark Henry
In 2010, at a strongman competition, Strowman was spotted by fellow strongman and WWE Hall of Famer, Mark Henry.
Seeing potential, the Hall of Famer befriended Strowman, asked would later ask WWE for a tryout and he joined the company that year.
In 2012, Strowman won the Arnold Amateur Strongman competition, which gave him a spot in the 2013 main competition. However, an injury prevented Strowman from going past the first round, and he would join the WWE not long after.
#1 He is an actor
Like many WWE superstars, Strowman is a multi-faceted performer. Not only is he able to stun audiences in WWE, but he has stunned film fans as well.
Appearing in 'Three Count' Strowman is 'Strongman', as the film tells the story of two brothers who come to grips with the death of their father through lucha libre wrestling.
