On February 20th of 2017, Big Show would make his return to WWE programming to confront Braun Strowman. After 'The Monster Among Men' was on a rampage the past few months, The Big show decided to return and show him who the best big man in the company was. This was a match of the past vs the future, one that many have said was the passing of the torch from The Big Show to Braun Strowman.

This match would allow Strowman to showcase his unnatural like agility and hit some impressive offensive on The Big Show. Hitting a running missile dropkick and performing a kip-up, Strowman proved he's not just a big man who can hit power moves. He could also be a big man who is faster than the average giant.

Roman would try to attack Strowman after the match only to be hit by another running powerslam. 'The Monster Among Men' would be the last man standing, proving his dominance ahead of his match with Roman Reigns at Fastlane.

At the Raw exclusive PPV Fastlane on March 5th of 2017, Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns would have their first singles encounter. These two would put on a chaotic brawl which saw Strowman hitting a running powerslam on 'The Big Dog' through the announce table. Although not enough to keep Roman down, as he would gather enough energy to spear 'The Monster Among Men'. Sensing the end was near and feeling desperate, Strowman would climb to the top rope, which would prove to be his downfall. Strowman would miss Roman, allowing Roman to hit a second spear and deliver Strowman his first pinfall loss.

The next Night on Raw, Strowman would challenge Roman to a rematch only to be interrupted by the returning Undertaker.

Roman would go on to feud with The Undertaker At WrestleMania while Braun Strowman would enter the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, having a dominating performance but failing to win the match.

That's it for part 2!
