Rumor Roundup: The Reason For Braun’s Shocking Release, Backstage Reaction, More

1) More On Braun Strowman’s Shocking Release

According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), Braun Strowman’s large contract had a lot to do with him being let go from the company.

Here is what Sapp wrote about Braun’s release:

Braun Strowman’s release was likely the most surprising to fans, but to talent close to the situation, it didn’t seem to be. Several that we spoke to said that Strowman’s contract, signed in 2019, was a monster deal, and that he very much knew his worth when negotiating with the company. His contract came down to the wire in the summer of 2019, and he was signed well into 2023, for what WWE sources claim was over $1 million per year. Strowman was said to have been very private about negotiating the deal until it was finalized

My Take:

  • Braun being let go was definitely the biggest shocker for me. I thought that he would be a WWE lifer.
