Braun Strowman Reveals Wild Origin Story Behind His WWE Name

TLDR

Braun Strowman revealed on the 10,000 NOs podcast that his WWE name originated from watching SportsCenter at the WWE Performance Center when the company needed a name immediately for trademark reasons. He got "Braun" from hearing about baseball player Ryan Braun (because it sounded like "brawny") and "Stoman" from Marcus Stroman, with Vince McMahon later adding the "R" to make it "Strowman" because he thought it made the wrestler sound more like a "showman."
