Braun Strowman is one of the hottest commodities on Monday Night RAW after his performances over the past two weeks. He has thrilled audiences with his involvement in two huge moments that continue to be discussed long after the show has ended.

This week's Strowman RAW moment gave fans a show-stopping broken ring segment that is still generating buzz on the Internet. He superplexed The Big Show off the top rope which caused the ring to come crashing down and send a referee flying to the ground as a bonus.

Big Show and The Monster Among Men have seen a lot of each other lately, as their paths have crossed even before WrestleMania 33. The young giant wanted to take his role as most dominant in the company before the big event and has made every effort to achieve that goal.

The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on Mania Sunday featured both men in the ring among the large crowd of superstars who would get to compete in the event. Strowman was a force and even though he didn’t win, he left quite the impression on observers.

WWE brass has also taken notice of his work lately and he has been bumped up to main event status for the near future. This week he even managed to secure his own t-shirt in the WWE Shop, something that had eluded him in the past.

Now that everything is coming up Strowman, he took some time to thank The Largest Athlete on Earth for helping place him in a position to succeed at this stage in his career. He posted a picture of the aftermath from Monday night’s show and used a hashtag to show gratitude.

That has to feel good for the Big Show as WrestleMania 33 will be his last appearance on The Ultimate Thrill Ride. There were reports after the event that he was less than pleased with his elimination from his match and he expected to have a bigger moment with the younger giant.

If the Instagram post is anything to go by, then the respect for the older performer is a big deal for Strowman. After all, much like Andre the Giant, Big Show helped pave the way for larger superstars to be viewed much more closely to smaller wrestlers.
