Adam Scherr (AKA Braun Strowman) joins us to talk about his brand-new USA Network series “Everything on the Menu,” premiering Friday after SmackDown, and why this is the first time fans get to see Adam Scherr—the man behind Braun Strowman. The former WWE Universal Champion opens up about the neck injury that left him temporarily paralyzed, his surprising break from WWE, and the real story behind his viral Paul Heyman feud on X. Braun laughs off rumors of beef with The Bloodline, calls Dominik Mysterio “made of chicken tenders,” and admits he used to bring his own steaks to WWE catering—sometimes stealing Vince's or Triple H's. He reveals his jaw-dropping 20,000-calorie diet, claims he “makes The Rock's cheat meals look like a salad,” and shares how he went from homeless with $150 to hosting his own TV show.
