WWE Superstar Braun Strowman Hints at Bodybuilding Career

Before Braun Strowman became a professional wrestler, he had a thriving career as a strongman. It looks like Strowman is going back to his roots these days.

He admired his growing muscles and contemplated if he should participate in an upcoming bodybuilding show in Orlando. He also mentioned and thanked his trainers for his progress.

Braun Strowman And Bullying

Braun Strowman has been very vocal about his journey towards being fit. In the latest episode of  WWE 24, he opened up about being bullied due to his size when he was young. “Bullying is something that everybody, I don’t care, how big and strong, how beautiful you are, at some point in your life, you get bullied.”

Looking back at his childhood, Strowman said, “I just didn’t understand why I would get picked on because I was friendly. I’m a fun person, like when I walk into a room I like making people laugh and stuff so it was really hard as a young kid growing up understand. I knew I was fat. Dealing with that, hearing it over and over and over, it wears on you. I mean this is hard to talk about.”

However, Strowman proved once again that embracing ourselves is the road to success. Recently, he celebrated five years of his WWE Career.

He thanked everyone and said on Instagram,“Not in a million years would I ever have thought I would be where I am today in life. I am truly one of the blessed men to walk this earth. I’ve learned so much in this time period of my life, not only as a performer but as a man.”

Strowman recently debuted a new look and a new attitude. He lost his Universal Championship to Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam on August 23.

However, he and Roman Reigns will face Wyatt in a triple threat match at WWE Payback PPV this Sunday. The PPV will stream live on WWE Network from the ThunderDome in Orlando.
