10 Things In WWE That Started Awful But Turned Out Great

10. Braun Strowman

When the 6'8", 385-pound Braun Strowman first appeared on WWE television as a member of the Wyatt Family, everyone dreaded his eventual push. He was bland, he was green, he was just sort of... there. But he was huge, so he was going to get a push, whether any of us liked it or not.

Fast forward to 2018, and Strowman is the most over guy on the RAW roster.

After being separated from his Wyatt brethren in the 2016 WWE Draft, Strowman spent his first few weeks on RAW squashing jobbers with ease. Over time, these segments evolved from throwaways to highlights, and Strowman organically made his way into the upper card. But it was his feud with Roman Reigns that really made him a star, as it allowed him to showcase his impressive agility and superhuman feats of strength. Plus, the fans loved watching him routinely manhandle the oft-reviled Reigns.

Strowman managed to get so over with the fans that WWE had to turn him face, and he remains one of the best parts of WWE programming today.
