Nobody who watches WWE programming regularly needs a reminder of what Braun Strowman has achieved in a short space of time, but would anyone envision him outshining Mickey Mouse? Probably not.

Last year, Braun stopped off in Orlando to help a friend take his three-year old son around Disney World. That's when Strowman had one of the most bizarre fan experiences of his career thus far. A woman suddenly started freaking out, screaming Braun's name and encouraging her daughter to get his autograph in her official Disney book.

Strowman laughed during his chat with CBS Detroit when he recalled the little girl looking mighty confused. She didn't have a clue who he was, and she wasn't about to let this unknown monster sign where Mickey Mouse was supposed to. Sadly for the girl, she didn't have a choice. Her mother took over and ensured Braun did sign over Mickey's autograph slot.

Again, Braun Strowman > Mickey Mouse.
