The Gypsy King vs. The Monster Among Men?
During an eight-man tag team match on SmackDown’s premiere episode on FOX, Braun Strowman had a bit of a stare-down with unbeaten former unified heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury.
After the match, chaos ensued as Fury left his seat and jumped over the guard rail and tried to storm the ring before several WWE employees at ringside stopped Fury.

Fury is coming off a very tough fight against Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin on September 14 in Las Vegas. Fury battled a nasty cut above his right eye, but managed to pull out a win by unanimous decision. Although Fury doesn’t have any fights currently scheduled for him, he has his eyes set on WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, who is facing Luis Ortiz in November. Should Wilder defeat Ortiz, it likely sets the stage for a potential rematch between Fury and Wilder in early 2020.
