Nobody can touch Braun Strowman as a wrecking ball babyface in WWE right now, and few have the ability to act like a clown then be taken seriously as a monster in the same segment.

Braun has created merchandise gold with his "Get These Hands" t-shirt too. The line is a meticulously-planned attempt by Strowman and WWE to capitalise on his success. Only kidding, it was a total accident and happened because Braun didn't know what else to say to Heath Slater during a promo this past January.

Strowman said so himself on WWE Ride Along.

Frustrated that Slater tried to interfere in his match with Rhyno, Braun grabbed the mic and invited Heath to get in the ring so he could beat them both up at the same time. That's when he first uttered his now familiar line, "Get These Hands". It wasn't until Strowman watched the segment back that he realised he was onto something.
