5 Most successful members of Adam Rose's Rosebuds group

2. Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman was a Rosebud

The current WWE Universal Champion is the most successful male Superstar from Adam Rose's group. While Adam Rose never captured a single title in WWE, Braun Strowman has won the Universal title, Intercontinental title, Tag team title, Money in the Bank briefcase, the Greatest Royal Rumble, and the Andre the Giant Memorial battle royal. WWE is very high on Strowman, voting him as the best male Superstar in the Year-end awards in 2018.

However, when he joined WWE in 2013 after a Strongman career, he wasn't off to the greatest of starts. It took 2 years for the company to come up with a gimmick for Strowman. In between, he made numerous appearances as part of the Exotic Express - a group of Rosebuds running around with Adam Rose.

In December 2014, Strowman finally made NXT debut, taking on Chad Gable at a live event. After a few dark matches on Main Event, Strowman made his main roster debut as the newest member of the Wyatt family. A great performance at the 2016 Royal Rumble saw the crowd cheer for the villainous Strowman which eventually led to his singles push.

He would have main event angles with the likes of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, and Goldberg. Strowman's biggest break would come at Wrestlemania 36 when he stepped in for Reigns to beat Goldberg to win the Universal title. Braun Strowman has also come a long way from being Adam Rose's Rosebud.
