Braun Strowman is proud of his recent transformation

WWE RAW Superstar Braun Strowman recently took to his Instagram account to show us a glimpse of his transformation. The ‘Monster Among Men’ recalled when he didn’t know if he would walk again following his back injury. However, the former WWE Universal Champion is grateful for the positivity surrounding his complete recovery and is proud of his transformation:

"Very happy with my continued progress in this next phase of body changing. Legs are coming in, and it’s making me very happy. The left leg is still struggling a little due to the atrophy from my back injury in 2015, but beyond blessed cause, there was a time when I didn’t know if I would be able to walk ever again!! The human body is an amazing thing and can do amazing things. It just takes some work and smart decisions to start taking steps in the right direction and healthier life."

Strowman is currently fighting for a spot in the WWE Championship picture. He recently returned to RAW following his suspension from the red brand.
