10 Things You Didn't Know About Braun Strowman

3. The World's Largest Rosebud

If you Google image search 'rosebud', you initially get a lot of pictures of rosebuds. Add 'WWE' to that search and in the first few images there is a familiar face sticking out of the back each time. He may be responsible for WWE's straightest face as he trucks dudes in late 2016, but in spring 2014 Braun Strowman was all about a good time. A drug-addled good time maybe, but a good time nonetheless.

Strowman appeared on a number of occasions as a Roman gladiator in the Exotic Express, tasked with being the man in charge of catching Rose during his leap of faith and also performing security duties at Rose's parties. Strowman was perfect for the role, although luckily this was all tweaked before the big man came to TV proper as a standalone character.

Those of you wondering whether Strowman can work as a babyface have their answer; the man has a natural charisma and is a more than capable talker. He is also fantastic at catching South African party poopers, although he wasn't able to catch Adam Rose as the Radical Mongoose's fell from grace.
