BRAUN STROWMAN

A one-time WWE Universal Champion and one-time Intercontinental Champion, the Monster Among Men built his legacy on sheer demolition. His Universal Championship victory over Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 — surviving four Spears en route to the pin — stands as the apex of his in-ring career. He is also a one-time Royal Rumble winner and Money in the Bank winner, a rare double that underscores just how dominant WWE booked him at his peak. The Running Powerslam delivered by a 385-pound former Arnold Amateur Strongman champion isn't a finisher — it's a natural disaster.

His final full-time WWE match was a Last Man Standing loss to Jacob Fatu on the April 4, 2025 SmackDown, with his full-time contract expiring on July 31. He has since declared himself semi-retired from professional wrestling. His food-travel series Everything on the Menu was renewed for a second season in January 2026, though he has been teasing a return to the ring as early as summer 2026. On the Battleground Podcast, he left the door open conditional on the right money, even eyeing a potential feud with Oba Femi.
