Less than two years ago, Braun Strowman was dressing up as a giant cheeseburger, or some other cartoonish goof, as a part of The Rosebuds for Adam Rose. Today, he is the most intimidating, menacing, destructive force in the WWE.
Braun is someone who has minimal experience, yet has adapted seemingly easily. Strowman competed in Strongman competitions prior to stepping into a wrestling ring. However, Braun listened well and had a relatively easy transition to being a successful professional wrestler from his former Strongman career.

2016 was undoubtedly the year of Braun. Drafted to Raw, Strowman was forced to split from The Wyatt Family. This could have damaged his career severely, but Braun embraced his new direction, and completely dominated the Raw roster.
Now that people are discussing who the winner of the Rumble match should be... Braun Strowman should be a name that everyone is considering as a heavy favourite to come out as the last man standing, heading to main-event Wrestlemania.
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
