Early life
Adam Scherr was born on September 6, 1983, in Sherrills Ford, North Carolina.[4] His father, Rick "Crusher" Scherr, is widely regarded as one of the greatest slow-pitch softball players of all time,[5][6][7] and is a USSSA Hall of Fame member who still holds the All Time World Series records in home runs (101), hits (166), and RBIs (202).[8] Scherr has a younger sister named Hannah.[9] As he grew older, he spent time in Arkansas and Tennessee. As a teen, he attended Bandys High School, where he was on the football, track and field, and wrestling teams. He went through a significant growth spurt in high school; he was 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m) during his freshman year and grew to 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) by the time he graduated.[10] After graduating in 2001, he "goofed off" until 2003, when he enrolled in a community college. He spent the next four years playing football semi-professionally for the Hickory Hornets, supplementing his income by working as a doorman and mechanic. Scherr attended the NFL Scouting Combine in 2007, but he ultimately did not turn professional. In the late 2000s, he began competing in amateur strongman competitions.[11][12][13]

Professional wrestling career
WWE
Training (2013–2015)
Scherr signed a contract with the professional wrestling promotion WWE in early 2013 and was assigned to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, where he adopted the ring name Braun Stowman (with the first name a reference to Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun).[17] In 2014, he made appearances as one of Adam Rose's "Rosebuds" in his Exotic Express gimmick.[18][19] He made his professional wrestling debut at an NXT live event in Jacksonville, Florida on December 19, 2014, defeating Chad Gable.[2] On June 2, 2015, Stowman appeared at a Main Event taping in a dark match, where he defeated an unidentified wrestler.[20]
The Wyatt Family (2015–2016)
Strowman as part of The Wyatt Family in January 2016
On August 24 episode of Raw, Scherr, under the tweaked ring name Braun Strowman,[21] made his main roster debut by attacking Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns and establishing himself as the newest member of The Wyatt Family alongside Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper.[22][23] Strowman had his first televised singles match on the August 31 episode of Raw, when he defeated Ambrose by disqualification.[24] Strowman wrestled in his first WWE pay-per-view event match on September 20 at Night of Champions, where The Wyatt Family defeated Ambrose, Reigns and Chris Jericho in a six-man tag team match after Jericho passed out to Strowman's lifting arm triangle choke.[25] On December 13 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, The Wyatt Family defeated The ECW Originals (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley (collectively known as The Dudley Boyz), Rhyno and Tommy Dreamer) in an eight-man tag team elimination tables match.[26]
On January 24, 2016, Strowman appeared at the Royal Rumble and scored among the most eliminations in the Royal Rumble match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, eliminating five opponents before being eliminated by Brock Lesnar, only to return to the match and helping his fellow Wyatt Family members to eliminate Lesnar.[27]Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer wrote that Strowman was "put over as a monster" in the match.[28] On February 21 at Fastlane, The Wyatt Family lost to the team of Big Show, Kane and Ryback,[29] but they got their win back the next night on Raw in a rematch.[30] Strowman appeared on April 3 at WrestleMania 32 during The Rock and John Cena's confrontation with The Wyatt Family.[31] The Wyatt Family were originally scheduled to face The League of Nations on May 1 at Payback,[32][33] but the match was cancelled after Wyatt suffered a legitimate injury.[34] In July, The Wyatt Family began a feud with the WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day,[35][36] which saw them defeating The New Day in a six-man tag team match on July 24 at Battleground.[37]
Undefeated streak (2016–2017)
Strowman in September 2016
As part of the 2016 WWE draft, Strowman was drafted to the Raw brand while Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan were drafted to SmackDown instead, Strowman separated from The Wyatt Family and beginning his singles career.[38] On the following weeks on Raw, Strowman appeared with a modified appearance and defeated James Ellsworth and several other local wrestlers who put up no challenge.[39][40] On the September 5 episode of Raw, Sin Cara challenged Strowman due to him disrespecting luchadores, but he lost by countout and by pinfall in the following weeks.[41][42] On the October 17 episode of Raw, Strowman was confronted by Sami Zayn after easily defeating three local competitors in a one-on-three handicap match.[43] Strowman was scheduled to compete against Zayn the following week on Raw, but the match never started as both men attacked each other before the bell rang.[44] On the October 31 episode of Raw, Strowman won a battle royal by last eliminating Zayn for a spot on Team Raw for the traditional Survivor Series five-on-five elimination match.[45][46] At the event on November 20, Strowman eliminated Dean Ambrose, but he was the first man to be eliminated from Team Raw after being counted out due to interference by James Ellsworth, who was put through a table after being chased up the entrance ramp by Strowman.[47] Team Raw later lost the match.[48] On the December 13 episode of Raw, Raw General Manager Mick Foley announced a match between Strowman and Zayn for Roadblock: End of the Line on December 18,[49] being announced as a ten-minute time limit match in which Strowman had ten minutes to defeat Zayn, which Strowman was unable to do.[50] The following night on Raw, Strowman demanded a match against Zayn, but Foley had given Zayn the night off which prompted Strowman to attack Sin Cara and Titus O'Neil during their match and later attacked Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns during their match against Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens.[51] Strowman defeated Zayn in a Last Man Standing match on the January 2, 2017 episode of Raw.[52]
On January 27 at the Royal Rumble, Strowman interfered during Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns' title match, helping Owens retain the Universal Championship.[53] Later that night, Strowman would enter the Royal Rumble match at number seven, eliminating Mojo Rawley, Big Cass, Kalisto, Mark Henry, Big Show, James Ellsworth and Tye Dillinger before being eliminated by Baron Corbin.[54][55] On the January 30 episode of Raw, Strowman challenged for his first world championship when he took on Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship as he was granted the match by Foley after video proof of Owens promising Strowman a title match, which Strowman would go on to win by disqualification after Reigns interfered and attacked him.[56] Strowman then continued to demand better competition, easily defeating four local competitors and then being granted a match with Reigns at Fastlane[57] while also attacked him in his match against Samoa Joe, causing Joe to win.[58] At the event on March 5, Strowman faced Reigns in a losing effort, marking his first loss by pinfall.
Universal Championship pursuits (2017–present)
On the April 10 episode of Raw, Strowman started a feud with Roman Reigns, including various attacks against him in RAW. Despite playing a villain, Strowman received a very positive fan response, partially due to the negative fan reaction of Reigns.[59] Both had a match at Payback, where Strowman defeated Reigns.[60] After the May 8 episode of Raw, WWE claimed that Strowman had a legitimate injury with a shattered elbow and would therefore be sidelined for about six months. This also caused a change in the schedule, with the planned match between him and Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire having to be scrapped. Strowman underwent surgery three days later in May 11.[61] However, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that while Strowman's elbow injury was indeed legitimate, it was minor, scheduled to sideline him for only two months, with WWE exaggerating it in order for him to make a surprise return "four months early".[62] On the June 19 episode of Raw, Strowman returned from injury, attacking Roman Reigns.[63] This led to an ambulance match at Great Balls of Fire, with Strowman winning again. Strowman would have a match for Lesnar's Universal Title at SummerSlam in a fatal 4-way match, also including Reigns and Samoa Joe. However, he would fail to capture the Universal Championship as Lesnar pinned Reigns. Next month, Strowman faced Lesnar at No Mercy, where Strowman once again failed to win the title.
Strowman later became involved in The Miz's feud with the reformed stable The Shield, culminating in a five-on-three handicap TLC match at the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs. During the TLC match, Strowman's teammates turned on him, throwing him into the back of a garbage truck, thus turning Strowman into a face in the process.[64] Strowman would return to Raw the following week, attacking The Miz and The Miztourage (Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas). Afterwards on Twitter, newly Raw General Manager Kurt Angle named Strowman as his first pick for Team Raw facing up against Team Smackdown on November 19 at Survivor Series, where Raw defeated SmackDown as Strowman and Triple H were the sole survivors of the team. After the match, Strowman attacked Triple H with two running powerslams due to Triple H attacking Angle with a Pedigree, leading to his elimination. The following night on Raw, Strowman was attacked by Kane with a steel chair during his match against Jason Jordan.[citation needed] On the December 11 episode of Raw, Strowman fought Kane to a double countout in a match to determine the number one contender to the Universal Championship on January 28, 2018 at the Royal Rumble.[65] Strowman would face Kane and Lesnar in a triple threat match at Royal Rumble, where he failed to win the title after Lesnar pinned Kane. The next night on Raw, Strowman defeated Kane in Last Man Standing match to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match to determine the number one contender for the Universal Championship. At Elimination Chamber, Strowman eliminated The Miz, Elias, John Cena, Finn Bálor and Seth Rollins (setting the new record for the most eliminatation in a single Elimination Chamber match), but in the end he was eliminated by Roman Reigns.
Strowman after winning the Raw Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 34
Strowman started a storyline where he pursuit Cesaro and Sheamus's Raw Tag Team Championship. He won a tag team battle royal to determine the number one contender for the titles, despite not having a tag team partner. Raw General Manager Kurt Angle granted Strowman a match for the Raw Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 34, as long as Strowman found a tag team partner.[66] At the event on April 8, Strowman chose a young fan in attendance named Nicholas to be his partner (the fan was a plant: referee John Cone's 10-year-old son). Strowman then single-handedly defeated Cesaro and Sheamus, winning his first championship in WWE and making Nicholas the youngest champion of any kind in WWE history.[67] The following night on Raw, Strowman and Nicholas relinquished the titles due to Nicholas' "scheduling conflict" (school).[68] On April 27 at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Jeddah, Strowman won the namesake match and in doing so broke the record for most eliminations in a Royal Rumble match with 13, beating Roman Reigns' previous record of 12.[69]
From April to August, Strowman feuded with Kevin Owens. He and Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn at Backlash,[70] and won the Money in the Bank ladder match, where Strowman threw Owens from the top of a ladder against a table.[71] At Extreme Rules, Owens defeated Strowman in a Steel cage match after Strowman performed a chokeslam off the cage through an announce table on Owens, thereby giving Owens the win as his feet touched the floor first, per the rules.[72] At SummerSlam, Strowman defeated Owens in a singles match with his Money in the Bank contract on the line in two minutes.[73] Later in the night, Strowman announced he would be cashing in on the winner of the main event and challenging them after the match. However, then-reigning Universal Champion Brock Lesnar attacked Strowman during his match with Roman Reigns, leaving Strowman unable to cash in when Reigns won the title after pinning Lesnar.
Strowman would attempt another cash-in the next night on Raw, but was stopped by The Shield, who attacked Strowman before the match became official.[74] In order to face The Shield, Strowman aligned with Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. At Hell in a Cell, Strowman was unsuccessful in his match with Reigns after interference from a surprise return from Brock Lesnar caused the match to end in a no contest. On the October 15 episode of Raw, Strowman, Ziggler, and McIntyre lost to The Shield after McIntyre accidentally kicked Strowman during the match. Afterwards, Strowman powerslammed Ziggler before being attacked by McIntyre, starting a feud against him.[75]
During November, Strowman had a feud with the Raw General Manager Baron Corbin. At WWE Crown Jewel, Strowman lost to Lesnar after a pre match knockout by Baron Corbin and, at Survivor Series, Strowman was attacked by Corbin, McIntyre and Bobby Lashley after Team Raw defeated Team SmackDown in the traditional tag team elimination match. Braun Strowman defeated Baron Corbin in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match to earn a Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble and Corbin was stripped of all authoritative power. However, on the January 14, 2019 edition of Raw, Mr. McMahon fined Braun $100,000 and removed him from the Universal Championship match at Royal Rumble due to Braun destroying Mr. McMahon's limo after trying to catch Baron Corbin.[76]
