Braun Strowman, known to wrestling fans as the “Monster Among Men,” faced a scary situation on the road yesterday that threatened to derail his start to 2026. On January 14, the former WWE Superstar took to Instagram to reveal that he had been involved in a car accident while test-driving one of his passion projects. The incident occurred just moments after he had finished work on a #94 EG hatchback Civic, turning a celebratory drive into a frustrating collision.
“Could Have Been Way Worse”
Strowman shared a video showing the aftermath of the crash, where his vehicle was rear-ended. While the car sustained visible damage, the massive grappler expressed relief that the physical toll wasn’t more severe, though he did note some lingering pain.
“Ugh finally got the #94 #eg #hatch #civic done and I got rear ended on the test drive. Necks a little sore but all in all I’m glad this is as bad as it is. Could have been way worse.”
Despite the frustration of seeing his newly finished project damaged, Strowman maintained a positive outlook. He emphasized that material objects are replaceable, whereas health is not. The post was accompanied by hashtags like “#notsolucky” and “#fenderbender,” capturing the mix of annoyance and gratitude that defined the moment.
“Cars can be fixed. I’m blessed no one was seriously injured.”
A Garage Full Of Power
This incident serves as a stark reminder that even the most experienced drivers are at the mercy of others on the road. Strowman is a well-documented car enthusiast; less than a year ago, he showcased his “insane” car collection on social media, which features eight muscle cars, none of which boast less than 800 horsepower. The irony that this accident occurred in a Honda Civic hatchback rather than one of his high-powered beasts was not lost on fans.
