Released WWE star was seemingly making $550,000 per year

A popular star who was recently let go by WWE was seemingly earning $550,000 per year. Kevin Nash recently hinted at Braun Strowman making the most amount of money out of the released group.

The Monster of All Monsters was recently released along with several other beloved stars. He hasn't made any notable announcement yet in regards to his future. Strowman did quite well as a mid-card act during his second run in the Stamford-based promotion under the Triple H regime.

On the latest edition of Kliq This, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash suggested Braun Strowman was earning $550,000 per year while being under contract. Check out his full comment below:

"Strowman was. He was, by far, the highest paid person in that group that went before that. One of the biggest things I would do before I made any kind of [decision], I would look at my writing team, and I would say 'Do we have anything for him moving forward?' 'No, are you asking us to write something for him?'" Nash explained. "'No, I'm asking do we have anything?' 'No, we don't.' 'Alright, well, he's the highest paid guy at 550, so, we'll cut him.'"

Braun Strowman's potential future following WWE release

Many fans believe Strowman might end up going to Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling somewhere down the line now that he's no longer in World Wrestling Entertainment.

However, it seems quite unlikely that Khan would try to sign the heavyweight star to his company.

Back in 2022, Strowman took an unprovoked shot at AEW and hinted that Khan's promotion killed the business. He also claimed Control Your Narrative would last longer than "this trash."

Looking at Strowman's past comments blasting AEW, no fan of the company would want him anywhere near the promotion in the future.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
