Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 23, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2021 Reports on all the usual sites that WWE want to re-sign Braun Strowman. What a strange year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymike83 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 In fairness, wasn't this something that was reported at the time of his release? Get rid, and then get him back with a deflated salary. He was another of the 7 figure earners wasn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Good. Decreases the chances of him stinking up AEW. Quite happy for the likes of him and Ziggler to be languishing on WWE TV ad infinitum -Â a safe space I know I don't have to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason some people had Braun as a "WWE or bust" guy which is why it was rumored from day 1 of his release that WWE would bring him back. Never got the impression that he was actually on AEW's radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I thought after he was released he said he was done with wrestling completely or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 He said in one of his IG posts or something before he left WWE that he'd never wrestle anywhere but WWE. Wouldn't take that literally though, expect he just said that to come across as the ultimate company guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely would be interested to see what Strowman could achieve outside of the WWE bubble. Vince McMahon seems to prefer his big men to wrestle in the same, plodding style. Even with that, Braun had some unexpectedly good matches in WWE, and I’d like to see if he could step it up a little in a company like AEW. However, the space on that roster is limited, and when there are prospects like The Acclaimed, Pillman and Garrison, Jade Cargill, Red Velvet, Tay Conti, John Silver and others competing for TV time, you have to ask if there’s any real value in signing him, when there are so many other interesting options for featured TV spots already on the roster. As for a WWE return, it feels like there’s very little more for him to do there, but the same could be said for Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, Charlotte and almost every other member of that terminally stale roster. So he fits in with his peers, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2021 He's a big tart if he goes back on half the money he was on. Do the indies for a year, get over everywhere and go back on your own terms. But crawling back on way less money after they sacked you? You can guarantee all those agents will be out to get him for being a big fanny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much less incentive for them to make a star of him when they don't have to get a return on their investment, too.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
