Braun Strowman has been openly expressing his dissatisfaction with WWE’s decision to release him earlier this year. The former Universal Champion took to social media to criticize the company, questioning why WWE continues to use his image in promotional materials despite no longer employing him.
Fans noticed that Strowman is prominently featured in WWE’s SummerSlam advertising, including the Netflix series WWE Unreal and footage from the event’s pre-show. They even tagged Triple H, asking why Strowman was released if his likeness is still being heavily used in the company’s marketing campaigns.
In response, Strowman delivered a blunt reply, calling WWE’s decision “stupid business decisions.” Reports suggest that WWE let him go due to financial reasons, believing his contract was too costly compared to how often he appeared on their programming.
While Strowman clearly feels the release was unjust, the bigger question is whether his outspoken frustration could hurt any future chances of returning to WWE.
Fan Take: This situation highlights a growing tension between talent and WWE management, which fans should watch closely as it may impact roster stability and storytelling in the sport. Strowman’s outspoken stance also raises questions about how WWE handles contract negotiations and the treatment of top stars.
