Braun Strowman is deceptively agile for such a big man, that's a point WWE's announcers love to put across any time the former Wyatt Family member works a match. There's nothing wrong with that, it's true and helps put him over. At Roadblock, such speed played a role in his bout opposite Sami Zayn.

After lecturing Mick Foley (who was poised to throw in the towel on behalf of Sami), Strowman then attempted to squash Zayn against the ring post on the outside. Missing, he smashed against the steel with force. That was nothing compared to the next bump, Braun totally put his all into running through that ringside barrier.

Sprinting with all his might, Strowman thumped through the barricade once Zayn had moved to safety. The spot was satisfying, Braun battered into the wall with some serious intent. Shortly afterwards, he was nearly counted out, although crucially didn't lose in such a lame fashion.

Instead, Zayn won because he managed to survive the 10 minutes. Braun taking himself out of the game was more believable than a full Sami comeback.
