Braun Strowman has been a set-destroying, vehicle-flipping runaway freight train monster since being repackaged as a singles star in 2016. He's ripped doors from cars, survived attempted vehicular homicide, literally picked up trucks and even been drowned. Through it all, he has never needed help.

Except when he did.

In the summer of 2018, Braun admitted that he needed some backup to fend off a reunited Shield and enlisted Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler as his 'Dogs Of War'. This only lasted a short while before Strowman went back to playing wrecking ball, but it did some damage to his aura as a brooding loner who could handle his own business.

The thought that one-man army Braun suddenly needed help against anybody was stupid. Worse, it turned him heel when fans were still cheering his destructive ways.
