Braun Strowman Secretly Set A New WWE Record This Week
The Monster Among Men became an unlikely history-maker on this week's WWE Raw.
This week's episode of WWE Raw saw Braun Strowman become the first wrestler in WWE, WCW, and ECW history to wrestle a televised singles, tag team, and handicap match in the same night.
The WWE Stats & Info history account tweeted as much earlier this week, claiming to have checked around 1,000 records to confirm the record:-
You requested it, we researched it.

It was certainly a busy night for Strowman whose first match was a handicap bout against Mace and T-BAR, which he won via disqualification. Drew McIntyre then joined him to face the former RETRIBUTION men, as they'd done last week, but the contest ended in a countout.
McIntyre later demanded a piece of Strowman after Braun laid him out following the tag, leading to the duo being booked one-on-one.
Braun felled Drew after a couple of interference and distraction spots. As a result, Strowman has been added to the WWE Title match at WrestleMania Backlash next month.
Bobby Lashley was originally set to put his belt on the line against McIntyre in a singles match at the pay-per-view. Strowman has now been added to that equation to make it a Triple Threat.
