Opting to rock a shaved head instead of longer hair and a Hardy Boyz circa '99-style t-shirt, 2020 has been a year of change for Braun Strowman.

Along the way, the Monster Amongst Men has managed to capture his first World Championship - that being as a last-minute replacement to face Goldberg for the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36 - and he's since had a change of attitude after tangling with the Fiend.

Regardless of his transformation, 2020 has largely ended with a whimper for Strowman, with him not really having much of any real note to do since battling Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt at August's Payback PPV.
