#1.) An extremely rough childhood
Roderick Strong is tough as nails because of his rough upbringing. His family wasn’t financially well-off, and there were days where he would go to sleep hungry because they couldn’t afford to eat. Apart from this, he also grew up isolated because his family had shifted so many times.
It was only when he found wrestling that he realized that he was good at something athletic. Moreover, the biggest fatality happened when his mother went to jail for shooting his father. Thankfully, his father survived.
