Braun Strowman vs Tyson Fury: How the feud started
The first time these two strong personalities went against each other was when Strowman started mocking Fury during the FOX premiere of Friday Night SmackDown. The two later had a physical altercation on Monday’s episode of Raw after Fury, who has demanded an apology from Strowman for his actions. The 'Monster Among Men' and the former Unified world heavyweight champion ended up trading punches which involved battling their way through a sea of security guards and WWE Superstars. After the show, Strowman pledged that Fury would “Get These Hands” during a brief backstage interview.
Braun Strowman vs Tyson Fury: The face-off
The pair recently faced each other at a press conference on Friday. Speaking at the announcement of their bout, Fury was confident of knocking Strowman out as he fears no man. Strowman replied to Fury by warning him that there are no gloves that can be worn in WWE fights and that he will be remembered for defeating him as well as the reason why is he known in the WWE as the 'Monster Among Men'.
After the face-off, the pair shared an awkward exchange as Strowman refused to release Fury’s hand as they shook. After some weird back-slapping and another stare down, Triple H finally came out to calm things down.
