#3. Former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman was recently victorious at WWE WrestleMania. He overcame the threat of Shane McMahon inside a steel cage.

Whilst The Monster Among Men shows off his larger-than-life persona on-screen, he recently opened up to former WWE star Lilian Garcia on her Chasing Glory podcast about his depression struggles back in 2019.

Strowman revealed that there were several changes in his personal life at the time and spending time on the road with WWE didn't help his mental health:

"It was a culmination of things going on in my life. The worst part about it was the beginning of last year. I went through a really bad breakup. My personal life was a mess and being a WWE Superstar, it is really hard to balance the road life and your personal life and that’s part of the reason the relationship did not work out. I got to a point where I felt like I wasn’t important at work, so I had no escape. My mind was all over the place and I was by myself."

Strowman has since been able to step into a prominent role on Monday Night RAW and is now seen as an important part of the red brand.
