What 8 WWE Superstars did before they started wrestling

#3 Braun Strowman - Strongman

Not just the strongest man on the WWE Network

Braun has been a great success with the WWE fans ever since Vince McMahon got him to the ring, impressed by his looks and strength. It comes as no surprise that he was lifting weights long before the WWE.

The Monster Among men possesses almost superhuman strength and before the WWE he was a strongman competitor who won several Arnold Amateur Strongman Championships between 2010 and 2012.

While Strowman’s success in Strongman Competition shows strength, his really impressive abilities come with his agility and skill in the ring. His speed comes from the football he played for the Hickory Hornets for four years and attended an NFL Scouting Combine. Oddly enough, Strowman didn’t make the cut.

He also worked as a mechanic and a doorman before finally getting signed by WWE. Many fans would already know this, but the name Strowman is derived from the word strongman itself!

Very few superstars in the current WWE locker room are as dominant as Braun Strowman.
