Kalisto managed to pull off a massive upset victory when he defeated Braun Strowman in a match on the April 24, 2017 episode of WWE RAW. The reigning WWE Universal Champion was a monster heel at that time and engaged in a short feud with Kalisto, who had just moved to the Red brand as a part of the Superstar Shake-up.

The feud between the two Superstars began when Strowman attacked Kalisto on the week after he was drafted to RAW. The Monster Among Men picked up the luchador and threw him inside a dumpster. This led to a match between the two with the unique stipulation. For those unaware, a Dumpster Match is a type of hardcore match in which one has to win by forcing his/her opponent inside a dumpster.

Kalisto used his wits to win the match by kicking at Strowman's legs, who was standing on the edge of the ring. As a result, Strowman lost his balance and fell backward all the way into the dumpster, which was just behind him. Although Kalisto came out as the winner in that match, he could not escape Strowman's wrath as the latter then brutally assaulted The King of Flight, tossed him into the dumpster, and later hurled him off the stage.
