In the coming weeks and months, it's going to be very interesting to see what WWE do with Braun Strowman. At one point, it actually looked like the company might try to push him to the top way too soon, rumours of a WrestleMania match against The Undertaker were rife at the tail end of 2015.

Now, he's been split from Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan by the WWE Draft. Heading to Monday Night Raw, Strowman may well just continue working the same big, angry dude gimmick he normally does on that show.

At Battleground, he was permitted to get in some power moves against The New Day, but missed one when he charged full force for a big kick into the corner. With nobody there as a target, Braun draped his leg over the top rope and grabbed the padding connecting the turnbuckle and ring post.

From there, he hurled himself over the top rope to the floor. Due to his immense size, the whole thing didn't look too smooth. WWE didn't labour on this for long, but it actually looks quite funny when watching back over.
