Standing nearly six and a half feet tall, and rippling with muscle, Braun Strowman gives us echoes of Bruiser Brody and Lex Luger with his tremendous size and power.

His standing as a former strongman contestant certainly helped his WWE career. He spent a lot of time in developmental and was first seen on WWE television as one of Adam Rose's entourage, the Rosebuds.

When he finally made his in-ring debut, he was paired with the wildly popular Wyatt Family. Given a black sheep mask, he was first the strong silent type, robotically carrying out the whims of Bray Wyatt, the Eater of Worlds.

Once he broke off on his own, he truly began to shine. Braun has the ability to resonate with the WWE audience, and he is going to go down in the history books because of his Wrestlemania 34 tag team victory with Nicholas, a young fan who he picked out of the crowd.

Now struggling with knee issues, he may have slowed down a bit but his momentum never falters. He is a no questions asked main event talent who could be WWE's breakout star of 2018.
