Ok yeah that didn’t bother me because they gave the belts up the next night or whatever.

But him not(or Samoa Joe honestly) not beating Brock when they were hot and then him turning heel against the Shield!!!

Killed his momentum and the Hell in a Cell finish had him and Roman look like geeks

I think what happened is they misinterpreted the cheers he was getting during the Roman feud and turned him face shortly after iirc, but the reason people were cheering him was a lot because he was whooping Roman's ass. people didnt want a face turn and him turning into a geek tagging with a kid for a feel good story. People liked he was a giant 5 word killer lol

Samoa Joe losing that feud made me super sad and I agree 100% that him or Braun should have won when they were at their very peak of popularity and reactions. they got gun shy both times, and I was def feeling that way ta the time too so it's not revisionism in my case

You’re right in the sense that he was a heel but he got over as a babyface by beating Roman’s ass weekly.

But there is a small period of time where Braun Strowman was the most over guy in the company

Braun was legit WHITE HOT in the Roman feud, it was crazy
That’s why when Roman came back in the summer of 2020 with the Fiend and Braun…

He’s yelling at Braun “I made you! You wouldn’t be anything without me”

The feud with KO was the nail in coffin for me with Braun. He was supposed to be the babyface but he came off like such a jerk and was just a straight up bully to KO.

That said though I do wish him all the best in recovery. Don’t wish an injury on anyone.

I barely remember the KO feud outside of him doing the spot outside the ring with him running KO over damn near every week

Damn that is rough. I hope Braun Strowman has a safe recovery and now he really has to take it easy in the ring if he does get a chance to return to the ring.

Braun was just smashing and embarrassing him weekly, pretty simular to his feud sith Sami Zayn not long before that. He also launched KO off a cage and then a ladder during MITB. KO probably lost years of his career to that feud for real :lol

The funniest thing about the cage match was dumbass Braun threw him off the cage to the outside so KO won the match
