The law of diminishing returns kicked in with Braun Strowman's epic stunt shows a while ago, but they were a huge part of why he got over in the first place. Presented as a larger-than-life movie monster, Strowman brought true spectacle back to WWE programming, and this moment still stands as his most memorable feat.

Here, Braun's awesome feud with Roman Reigns went to the next level. WWE had teased 'The Big Dog' versus The Undertaker, but in stepped 'The Monster Among Men,' attacking his Fastlane opponent on the 6 March episode of Raw. The bad blood kept bubbling through to 10 April. Strowman jumped Roman during an interview with Michael Cole, bludgeoning him all over the arena until Reigns was eventually loaded into an ambulance. Then, this happened.

It put Strowman over not only as a ruthless monster, but an inhumanly strong force of nature. Sure, he was likely assisted by an elaborate winch system on the other side of the vehicle, but he tipped a bloody ambulance. How could anyone not be impressed by that?

The duo eventually met in an ambulance match at Great Balls Of Fire, after which Reigns attempted kayfabe murder on his mammoth opponent. Wonderful.
