Braun Strowman makes an impact on WWE SmackDown; surprised by 30-year-old star

Braun Strowman is the newest member of WWE SmackDown and made quite an impact this week. He made quite the impression, coming out dressed as Santa Claus, but his appearance on The Grayson Waller Effect didn't go as planned.

The WWE Universe was more than happy to see Strwoman bring Christmas cheer. However, his sit-down with Grayson Waller and Austin Theory was a rather tense affair. At almost every turn, Braun Strowman seemed offended by what Waller had to say. However, that didn't matter at the end of the day, as Carmelo Hayes interrupted the segment. He came out looking for revenge after being embarrassed by The Monster of All Monsters last week.

Some words were exchanged, with Hayes even using some choice words. This led to the two having a match, with the 30-year-old star picking up a count-out victory. This didn't sit well with Strowman, who chased Carmelo backstage.

Unfortunately, things went from bad to worse for the former Universal Champion. Amid his search, he was blindsided by Hayes, who hit him with a steel chair from behind. Safe to say, it was a night to forget for Strowman.

Braun Strowman recently celebrated 10 years with the WWE

While Braun Strowman may be disappointed about recent events, there is a silver lining for him. December 19, 2024, marked 10 years since he joined the company, a major accomplishment for the 41-year-old wrestler who has excelled as a WWE Superstar.

He had his first official match against Chad Gable at an NXT Live Event in Jacksonville, Florida. After that, his career took off. He joined the iconic Wyatt Family and secured numerous championship titles, including the prestigious WWE Universal Championship.

Strowman has much to be proud of when looking back at his WWE career. Fortunately, he still has plenty of years left as a superstar. With that comes many more incredible moments and hopefully even more titles.
