#1. Braun Strowman regrets putting out a controversial tweet

As of last week, Braun Strowman was one of the hated men in wrestling online. The Monster Among Men made a controversial statement about independent wrestlers not being paid due to the coronavirus pandemic. The former Intercontinental Champion said that the indie performers who can't afford to pay their bills should look out for another profession altogether.

The fan backlash was intense and there were also a few people in the WWE who were upset with Braun Strowman, as revealed by Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio.

Strowman, though, was spoken to by his friends backstage and he now realizes his mistake and regrets making the comments.

Meltzer revealed:

A lot of people were upset, including in the company because so many of those people came through that (independent circuit), and he didn't. He is (apologetic), You know it's funny when I wrote about it (in the Newsletter), people were going like, why aren't you going harder on him because if you yell at him too much it's going to dig in and get worse, but if you go, look, if you are a friend of his, just explain it to him and he's got friends, and from what I understand, they did and he sort of got it. He didn't really get it at first but he got it and he wished he didn't write it and all that.

So it's not like other people who dig their feet in and make it worse, he was not that. So good for him on that. But, people don't know that, I know that but most people don't know that.
