Recently released WWE superstar Braun Strowman is not holding back his feelings about his departure from the company. In a new social media post, the former Universal Champion called his release a “stupid business decision.”
The comment came in response to a fan who questioned why WWE continues to use Strowman’s image in promotional materials despite him no longer being employed by the company. Strowman, Adam Scherr, became a free agent on August 1st.
WWE’s “Stupid Business Decision”
A fan on X pointed out that Strowman was featured heavily in highlight packages for SummerSlam and in the new Netflix docuseries, WWE Unreal. The fan tagged Triple H and asked why Strowman was cut if his likeness is still being used so prominently.
Strowman fired back with a blunt and direct response. “Casue someone made a stupid business decision!!!!” he wrote.

Reports have indicated that WWE’s decision to release Strowman in May 2025 came down to financials. The company reportedly believed his contract was worth more than the value they were getting in return based on his recent usage.
A Monster Among Men
Braun Strowman was one of WWE’s biggest homegrown stars of the last decade. After debuting as the monstrous “Black Sheep” of The Wyatt Family, he broke out on his own as a dominant and surprisingly popular babyface. His “Get These Hands” catchphrase became a hit with the audience, and his incredible feats of strength made him a must-see attraction.

His career peaked at WrestleMania 36, where he defeated Goldberg to win the Universal Championship. He was a consistent main event player for years.
A Tale of Two WWE Releases
This is the second time Strowman has been released by WWE. His first release in 2021 was a major shock to the wrestling world. He was brought back by the new creative regime in 2022, but his second run never reached the same main event heights as his first.
This history of being a top star who was let go twice is likely the source of his current frustration. Since becoming a free agent, he has been very vocal, recently posting in support of Karrion Kross and criticizing WWE’s backstage culture. As one of the biggest free agents in the world, the wrestling industry will be watching to see where “The Monster Among Men” lands next.
