The real reason why Braun Strowman was released from WWE

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, veteran reporter Dave Meltzer revealed the real reason for Braun Strowman’s second-time release from the Stamford-based promotion.

Meltzer revealed that The Monster Among Men’s massive WWE salary factored in his release from the professional wrestling juggernaut. After initially being released from World Wrestling Entertainment in 2021, Strowman returned to the Stamford-based promotion in September 2022, after Triple H took over the company's creative control.

“He is the one that the salary was high,” Meltzer stated. “One person told me that they felt he was being... he was paid more than how they were using him, I guess is the best way to put it, but salary played a part in this,” Meltzer stated.

It will be interesting to see how the future unfolds for Braun Strowman and where he possibly lands after his 90-day non-competing clause ends. One thing is certain - fans want to see the Monster of All Monsters back in action soon.
