8 Most Improved Wrestlers Since Last Year's WWE Brand Split

1. Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman debuted on WWE's main roster almost two years ago as a member of The Wyatt Family. For a long time, Braun was written off as a useless 'big man' that was only hired by the company for his size.

During his first year, he was literally and figuratively the black sheep of The Wyatt Family. He was widely considered the weakest member of the stable and there was not a lot of optimism surrounding him when he broke out as a singles star - at least amongst the fans.

However, he began to slowly win them over after the brand split. Strowman was primarily used in squash matches in the early months of his single run, but even then he was showing signs of how destructive he could be.

By the time he began his feud with Roman Reigns in January, he had gained the support of a large portion of the WWE Universe, and beating up the 'Big Dog' week after week only endeared him to the audience even more.

Strowman is arguably the most improved performer over the last year and left a void during his recent absence from Raw due to injury. His return this past Monday was well received by the fans and he must now be considered a main event-level talent in WWE.
