#5. Braun Strowman awkwardly forgets his lines on WWE RAW when calling out Brock Lesnar
Trending
It was early 2018 and everyone was gearing up for the WWE Royal Rumble. While Braun Strowman wouldn't compete in the Men's Royal Rumble match that year, he had an opportunity against Universal Champion Brock Lesnar in a triple threat bout also involving Kane.
In early January 2018, Strowman teased a confrontation with Lesnar, and after he called out The Beast Incarnate to the ring, he seemed to awkwardly forget his lines. Bryan Alvarez confirmed on Wrestling Observer Live that The Monster Among Men did, in fact, forget his lines. He continued, saying:
“[Braun] Strowman’s a big guy, people like him. He does those trainwreck segments that everybody thinks is great. The reality is he’s not your top guy. He cannot deliver in the ring unless you’ve got gimmicks. Straight professional wrestling matches I mean he’s not top level.” (H/T Bodyslam.net)
Braun Strowman would unsuccessfully challenge for the Universal title at Royal Rumble - a bout where he famously got legitimately punched in the head by Brock Lesnar.
Strowman went on to become the Universal Champion two years later in 2020. A little over a year after that, he was released by WWE.
