Braun Strowman has made his in-ring return.

Wrestling for the first time in over a year, Strowman appeared at a Great Lakes Championship Wrestling event on Saturday night.

Highlights show Strowman picking up a tag win alongside independent wrestler Kal Herro at an outdoor event. A local report from CBS 58 showed that Strowman also hosted a corn on the cob eating competition at the event as well.

Strowman hadn’t been seen inside a ring since his last WWE run, which wrapped up in the first half of 2025.

He has since been mainly focused on other forms of entertainment. Strowman is currently the host of “Everything on the Menu,” a food and lifestyle show which airs on the USA Network. The show’s second season is currently being rolled out, airing on Friday nights following Smackdown.

Strowman said last year that, while most of his attention has been put toward other projects, he’s not against more wrestling opportunities.

“Don’t get me wrong, I miss being in the ring,” Strowman said during an interview last October. “These [hands] things are very capable of being passed out whenever I want to. But I’m also enjoying a little break because my body is starting to somewhat feel normal. I’m getting some of these injuries healed up that were nagging for years, and stuff like that.”
