However, it was a confrontation with WBC Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury that made Strowman’s quest even easier.

Before the match between the teams of Braun Strowman, The Miz, and Heavy Machinery vs Dolph Ziggler, Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton could begin, Strowman got into a brief staredown with Fury. After planting Ziggler with a running power slam and picking up the win for his team, Strowman seemed to be in the line of fire from Fury as he hopped the guardrail, but was restrained by security and officials.

This angle reminded fans of the several moments Big Show had with big men belonging to other sports. Be it Shaquille O'Neal or Floyd Mayweather, Show has rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest sportsmen the world has ever seen.

Similarly, it seems like WWE will be planning to use Strowman in a similar role for some time as he has failed at nearly every championship opportunity but remains a huge hit with the crowd.
