10 WWE Superstars and their Game of Thrones counterparts

#8 Hound -- Braun Strowman

Sandor Clegane aka Hound was the ultimate character in Game of Thrones. Introduced as the executioner for the Lannister clan, the Hound was portrayed as a grey character that you wouldn't dream to challenge.

He swung his sword for the king when he was the Kingsguard. He also took a stand against being used as a slayer on the king's command. Following that, he had a beautiful journey which appealed to the fighter in him -- the one that doesn't take orders from an inferior and cunning leader.

Similarly, Braun Strowman was initially portrayed as the muscle of different heelish stables. But that wouldn't last long.

The Monster Among Men then slowly started making his way to the top of the roster with the help of his individual conquests. He took on the likes of Kane and Brock Lesnar and assured the WWE Universe that he is not the one to be messed with.

From single-handedly winning the Tag Team Championships to overturning an ambulance, Strowman is one of the most exciting Superstars in the current WWE main roster.

It goes without saying that the way both Hound and Strowman can also turn soft when needed. To be honest, I have the same reaction when either of them appears on my TV screen.
