As for Strowman, he is also scheduled to team up with EC3 on a show in Dubai on March 7, 2022. The show is being dubbed "the biggest wrestling event in the Middle East."
The ex-WWE star is seemingly doing well for himself after his surprise release last year. From his early stint as a member of The Wyatt Family to beating WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg for the Universal title at WrestleMania 36, Strowman came a long way.
