About Braun Strowman’s second WWE return

Braun Strowman made his WWE debut in 2015 as part of The Wyatt Family and soon emerged as a top heel. His first stint with the company ended in 2021, nearly six years later. He eventually returned to WWE in 2022 and became an integral part of the mid-card scene.

He soon started a feud with Jacob Fatu and had a few intense matches with him. Strowman even had a shot at LA Knight’s US title during this run but failed to win the championship. He also took on ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ in a #1 contender match for the title in a last man standing match, but came up short.
