WWE releases Braun Strowman in latest round of cuts: 3 reasons why ‘The Monster of Monsters’ was an asset for the company

Braun Strowman, one of the popular names in the world of professional wrestling, was released from the WWE a few hours ago much to the shock of his ardent fans. This brought his second stint with the promotion, which started in 2022, to an end. He had previously worked with the company from 2015 to 2021. ‘The Monster of Monsters’ earned the love and respect of the WWE Universe with his strong in-ring and willingness to put over other wrestlers. Here is a look at why he will be missed.

Braun Strowman made a menacing heel

Strowman made his WWE debut nearly a decade ago as ‘The Black Sheep’ of the Wyatt Family and soon emerged as a monster heel. He initially squashed local talent in short matches and proved his mettle as a monster heel.??His imposing physique and intense body language made these beatdowns look believable, which is the hallmark of good pro-wrestling. He in particular shared good chemistry with James Ellsworth during this time.?

Strowman could hang with the big guys

Strowman accomplished what few have when he feuded with Roman Reigns during 2017 and scored a win over him. The big guy also put on brutal matches with the likes of Big Show and Brock Lesnar, proving that he could hang with A-list stars.?

Interestingly, he was cheered during his rivalry with the then ‘Big Dog’ despite being the villain. Strowman also added another feather to his cap when he beat the legendary Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 in 2020. He replaced Reigns in the match after due to medical reasons.?

He gave back to the company

Braun Strowman was a true company guy who played an instrumental role in helping a couple of fast-rising superstars find a foothold in the industry. The ‘Last Monster Standing’ match with Bronson Reed is a shining example of his commitment to fostering young talent. Strowman sold his offence with conviction, making him look like a legitimate threat.?

Strowman also did the same for Jacob Fatu. This feud established ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ as a freak of nature and eventually paved the way for him to beat LA Knight for the US title at WrestleMania 41.?

Interestingly, apart from Braun Strowman the likes of Dakota Kai and Eddy Thorpe too were released as part of these cuts.?
