History Awesome / BraunStrowman

%% (WANE) * Two words: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEQVsYyFxa0 He's back!]]

** And then after RAW went off the air, Braun cut this ''amazing'' [[https://streamable.com/44xw7 promo]]

* This [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BjSn-B9HUFK/ picture]] from Braun's Instagram showing him with the Infinity Gauntlet making him look like he's a bigger threat to Thanos than any collection of superheroes combined.
* Winning the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match at Money In The Bank 2018. He's now the "Monster In The Bank".
* Beating Wrestling/BobbyLashley in a Last Man Standing match at ''Extreme Rules'' 2019. HesBack, [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} baby!]]
* After years of coming up short of winning a singles title, Braun [[EarnYourHappyEnding finally]] captured the Intercontinental Championship from Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura.

* Two words: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEQVsYyFxa0 He's back!]]

* '''Elimination Chamber 2018''': ''Good lord'', where do we start? His near ImplacableMan status throughout the match, taking multiple Superman Punches, Spears, an AA (kicking out at 1!), a Coup de Gras to the chest and back of his head, and a [[UpToEleven QUADRUPLE]] Shield Bomb with four men stacking him for the pin, none of which took? Him being responsible for ''every single elimination'' (except his at the hands of a weary Roman Reigns) in the match? The monster biel he delivered off the top of a pod, throwing Miz onto the other competitors? The ''running'' shotgun dropkick he delivered to Rollins? Or that, even in defeat, he looked far more dominant than Reigns ever could by tossing him, ''with one hand'', through the fiberglass pod doors and leaving him laying once again?

* And while his IC run [[HopeSpot ended embarrassingly quickly]], WWE finally, ''finally'' pulled the trigger on Braun when Roman was forced to pull out of his ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 36'' Universal championship match against Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} by the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic and Braun was inserted in his place. While ''everyone'' [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt wrote Braun off as just being there to keep Goldberg warm until he could have a chance to put Roman over later on]], Braun shocked everyone and, after ''four'' powerslams, ''beat Goldberg for the WWE Universal Championship!'' Ladies and gentlemen, '''WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman!''' For added awesomeness, here's a list of superstars who have pinned Goldberg cleanly, in a one-on-one match, in any company at any point: Wrestling/TheUndertaker, Wrestling/BrockLesnar, Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre, and Braun Strowman. That's good company.

* The March 5th, 2018 episode of RAW saw Braun face off against Elias in a Symphony of Destruction, falls count anywhere match. It started with Elias bolting away from the arena and to a car in the back. As he attempted to get away, he noticed that he wasn't getting anywhere, and that's when he saw Braun ''lifting the back end of a car that was about to speed off''. After the match goes on for a while, he goes to a large double bass on stage similar to one he had used on Elias before, and hit him with it. Obviously, he's not finished with him, and after playing on a piano on stage, he takes that same piano, kicks off one of the legs, and crushes Elias with it, and then literally tossing it aside to pin Elias. Needless to say, this was a [[LamePun Smashing Hit.]]

** YMMV with this to some extent, as one has to feel pretty bad for the other tag teams. In fact, it’s likely the whole reason Braun was a surprise entrant was that RAW had been so focused on building up The Bar that [[DidntThinkThisThrough they allowed the other tag teams to languish]]. At that point, the rest of the tag teams were so [[IncrediblyLamePun unable to meet The Bar]] that Creative had to reach outside the division altogether to find a real threat.

He's not called ''The Monster Among Men'' just because he's big.
