Adam Scherr isn’t holding back when it comes to who he considers the most dangerous man in WWE—and it’s not even close.
During an interview with Brad Leone, the former WWE Superstar known as Braun Strowman reflected on his in-ring clash with Brock Lesnar at the 2018 Royal Rumble. And according to Scherr, things got very real in the middle of the ring after a stiff shot landed where it shouldn’t have. When asked who was the one guy in WWE he wouldn’t want to mess with, Scherr didn’t hesitate. He then detailed the infamous shoot moment between them in 2018:
“Brock. He’s one of the most dangerous human beings to ever walk the face of this Earth. I feel like you could hit that guy in the face with a 2x4.”
“Go back and watch Royal Rumble 2018 when him and I get into it for real in the ring. There’s a slow-mo of him overhanding righting me and my skull moves and my skin catches up with it.”
The situation happened after Scherr accidentally kneeed Lesnar in the face. What followed wasn’t scripted. Lesnar fired back with a legit shot that left no room for confusion.
“I kneed him in the face and caught him pretty good, and we slugged it out a little bit. Then realized, well, we’re not in the octagon—let’s get back to doing what we’re supposed to be doing.”
Scherr praised Lesnar’s athletic resume, pointing out that this wasn’t just about being tough—it was about being a lethal combat athlete.
“He’s a national collegiate champ wrestler, multiple WWE champion, two-time UFC heavyweight champion. Absolute weapon.”
And while he gave props to guys like Chad Gable, there’s no mistaking who left the strongest impression when it came to real danger in the ring. Whether you’re a fan of Braun Strowman, Brock Lesnar, or just love shoot stories from inside WWE, this one’s a must-hear.
Do you think Braun handled that Lesnar moment like a pro? Or should Brock have cooled it down in the middle of a scripted match? Drop your take in the comments—we want to hear from you.
