"I might just retire here" - Braun Strowman sends cryptic message after WWE firing

Braun Strowman's WWE release has come as a shock to fans, as he was prominently featured in a feud with Jacob Fatu until a few weeks back. However, The Monster Among Men seems to be undeterred by the sudden release.

The former Universal Champion is arguably the biggest name to have been shown the door by the Stamford-based promotion in the latest round of cuts. However, this isn't new to Strowman, as he was earlier released from WWE in 2021, only to be hired back in September 2022. Though his second stint with the promotion was plagued with injuries, he did put over names like Bronson Reed and reigning United States Champion Jacob Fatu.

As such, his release took everyone by surprise. Braun Strowman recently shared a picture of himself from his vacation with a cryptic message on X.

"I might just retire here!!!!!" Strowman wrote.

It remains to be seen what lies ahead for the veteran performer following his departure from the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. Braun Strowman could be a great addition to All Elite Wrestling's roster if both parties show an interest in working together in the future.
