From body slams to stone lifts, Evan Singleton is trading the wrestling ring for the ultimate strongman showdown. In Monday’s episode of World’s Strongest Man, the former WWE star is putting his muscles to the test in Heat 4 of the finals, hoping to finally clinch the title that has eluded him. After making it to the WSM final last year, Singleton is a serious contender, having dominated numerous one-day strongman competitions.
Singleton isn’t just facing a few burly blokes down the pub; he’s up against the titans of strength: Pavlo Kordiyaka, Rauno Heinla, Marcus Crowder, and Evans Nana, among others. Heat 4 will feature a gauntlet of six grueling events, including the Webster Stones, a Deadlift ladder, and the crowd-pleasing Car Walk. Think of it as a car commercial, but with considerably more groaning and grimacing.
Also representing Great Britain is newcomer Kane Francis, aka “The Hurricane,” making his debut in the competition. Will he withstand the pressure? Can Singleton finally achieve strongman supremacy? With James Richardson, Eddie Hall, and Michelle Ackerley presenting, and commentary from Colin Bryce and Danny Wallace, this episode features the Viking Press event, a WSM classic making its return after a seven-year hiatus.
World’s Strongest Man airs Monday, December 30 at 7:00 PM on Channel 5.
