Photographed at last Friday's Bare Knuckle Fighting Champions event was Braun Strowman, whose high-profile public appearances have been scarce since he left WWE earlier this year.

Bare Knuckle FC uploaded the following shot of the former Monster Among Men to their Twitter feed on Saturday:-

The "Next BKFC Signee?" caption is teasing, though the group could face significant competition to sign Strowman if it is indeed interested in extending an offer. Per the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, WWE is back in the market for the big man following AEW's recent signing (and rumoured signing) spree.

Given that Strowman has no prior combat sports experience, BKFC would represent a sharp left turn for the 37-year-old.

Friday's BKFC event, BKFC 19, was headlined by format UFC Fighters Paige VanZant and Rachael Ostovich, with the latter taking the victory via unanimous decision. Rapper Blueface also fought on the card.

Strowman was one of several WWE wrestlers released on 2 June, departing the company alongside the likes of Lana, Aleister Black, and Buddy Murphy. If beholden to a standard 90-day non-compete clause he will be free to appear and sign for other wrestling companies from 31 August.
