Sports Illustrated recently caught up with Braun Strowman to discuss a number of topics and his role at this year's
WrestleMania was among them. As you may recall, he was feuding with
Saturday Night Live hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost leading up to the event and ultimately eliminated them to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
While the Monster Among Men admitted that being on the Kickoff show wasn't his ideal scenario, he was still grateful to receive quite a bit of mainstream media attention.
"Mania was great, I had the opportunity to work with some pop culture guys doing a little bridging outside of the gap of what I’ve normally done with my character. That was a good thing because it got my face out in front of more mainstream media and audiences that don’t necessarily watch wrestling."
"We were just talking about this at work, and I want to say it had 257 million views in outlets outside of wrestling in a matter of a week," Strowman added. "It wasn’t ideally what I wanted to do at WrestleMania, but it was a good thing to do at WrestleMania."
It's easy enough to see where he's coming from but after two quite comical roles at the Show of Shows, you have to hope he'll get something better to do next year.
