That priceless double bass segment on a recent episode of Raw was further proof that Braun Strowman is one of WWE's biggest success stories over the past few years. Whether playing intimidating monster or goofy comedic relief, Braun has shown his effectiveness and become a breakout star.

On Busted Open Radio, Braun admitted that both he and Elias had great difficulty holding in their laughter throughout the musical skit, especially when Strowman accidentally broke the strings on his double bass. Although that hadn't been part of the plan, it worked a treat and helped make the segment hilarious.

Watch the skit again and you'll see Braun biting his lip to stop himself from laughing. Somehow, he was able to carry on without corpsing live on Raw, and he even received a pat on the back from Vince McMahon backstage for keeping his composure.
