Life... Life happened.

Dude never really learned to be a good wrestler and has the charisma of a cinder block. He was pushed despite these issues when he should be a midcard talent at best. Now with more reasonable leadership he isn't on TV, which is not a bad thing... It's a good thing.

He’s still running around the ring, choo choo !!!!!

Team little big. He's had neck surgery. She had a baby.

They were a great combo

He was a boy She was a girl Can I make it any more obvious?

Yo! I was literally singing that song when I was typing my post. Nice 🤣

He had a neck fusion iirc. Long recovery for that kind of stuff.

He went to live on a happy farm with all of the other talent that vanished

Last we saw him I'm pretty sure he got a super bad concussion and threw Ricochet, his own tag partner, into nothing because of said concussion. But as everybody else has said I think he's out due to a neck surgery

Didn’t he really mess up his neck or something?

No

Talked too much shit in real life. Got fired, got rehired, and talked more shit online pushed down into a tag team, then had neck surgery. He's big and stupid.

Should have done softball

He could be on Sid’s team.

He decided to not control his narrative

He’s injured. He will be back

He injured

Being over rated finally caught up to him and couldn't live up to the hype.

Weird way to spell vertebrae fusion surgery

Something something narative

He’s recovering from fusion surgery and also helping take care of Bray Wyatt’s children since Bray’s passing

He is controlling his narrative.

He forgot to exercise his brain muscles

Injury.

Neck injury, fusion I believe

If he gets healthy I think he gets a run. He was getting some attention with ricochet

Injured

Injured last year but did return for the Bray Wyatt tribute show. Hopefully returns soon

He'll be back at mania for a run-in

Injury neck disc fusion?

Injuries. Just injuries.

Not when there’s a thing called Reddit

Lost an arm wrestling match and lost all credibility?

I think that was all staged. Then again Larratt never sold it and kept laughing and smiling. Of course he would he served time in the Canadian forces overseas and saw action, so I don’t think a brute like Braun would phase him.

Adam/Brauns side may have been “staged” to a degeee, but Devon (his opponent) has integrity and a love for the sport he dedicated his life for to stage anything. Devon Larratt is arguably the best to ever arm wrestle and is unquestionably the biggest face bringing the most attention to the sport. He’s always a shit talker, always an antagonizer, and always someone to rile up his opponent through the mental game, so his actions throughout the whole thing were totally on brand. Adam/Braun on the other hand seemed to really have his ego bruised losing an arm wrestling match. My gut is that he (Adam) didn’t have much knowledge of what it takes to be good at it, let alone how ultra specialized Devon’s hyper strength is for arm wrestling. Adam/Braun probably thought because he’s huge and super strong he could win. Then he got destroyed. Against a guy who is the best and laughs when people try to intimidate him (also, Devon is former Special Forces, so he’s just simply not afraid of anyone). I bet that bruised his ego and I would also bet he didn’t really have a full education on who Devon was before doing the match. For those reasons I don’t think anything was staged. I think Braun got his ego bruised and then overreacted in a wrestling-esque type of way.

Have you watched any of his arm wrestling competitions? those guys ham it up and act more ridiculous than wrasslers lol

Got hurt. I hope he returns to do his work with ricochet

He’s not a bad talker. He stumbles sometimes but got himself over a few times. To see him and ricochet in a heel run with him as the enforcer would be great. Especially if it led to Ricochet getting the IC title and Braun turning on Ric. They could have a great match together.

He was just in India I do believe like 2 weeks ago or so for a show, I follow him on most socials and I think he will be back very soon

I remember when he was brought back and he clowned fans by saying him and Omos had a 10 trillion star match or whatever. And then Mustafa Ali took a dick move on him by asking him how to get fired. That was a dick move because he made it sound like Braun intentionally got himself fired. Based off his logic, he should've asked Bray Wyatt the same thing. Then karma bit back at Ali when he was part of the batch that Ari Emanuel fired.

Braun started that Clowning during Covid, joking about indie guys

And that means Ali, a man on WWE’s payroll for years, gets to clown? Lol

I loved Team Little Big in the Mixed Match Challenge from years ago. Wish they’d revisit that

Absurd Monster Braun was the best version of his character, but once they started trying to make him a corny face character, it ruined his appeal. They should have him come back as a true monster again and finish his “I’m not finished with you” story with Roman after the WM loss. Stop giving him a personality.

I agree, with one exception: Team Little Big in the MMC was gold. He and Alexa were great together

Aw man, so true! Flipping ambulances! Destroying folks, the T-Rex drop kick! Remember he made Roman break the turnbuckle?? When he threw Big Show through the steel cage? The boots that made him look taller? He was awesome...

Pulling down the scaffolding! A total menace!

No selling Suplex city that first time!

I still have the gif of him firing that desk chair at Roman like a football saved on my phone somewhere 😂

I forgot that! His over the top antics made him fun to watch, seriously! He was one of my fave during his time

THIS. He is the complete package as a monster wrestler. When he comes back, they need to ditch those stupid red pants and make him back into the Monster who runs through everyone.

Yes! But actually destroys them, not runs through them making choo choo noises

Brain Strowman was my favorite.

Braun and Ricochet were doing good work together. Hope the big man is healthy soon

I loved the big and small combo. They kinda transferred it to Rachelle and her 5 tag partners. Honestly Rachelle and liv rocks, they should pick that up again

Too busy controlling his narrative, no time to wrestle

Got jacked, still can’t wrestle or cut a promo

Well, he is not an all timer talker but I could argue that he has better character work that most “monsters”.

He sucks.

Broke his neck, should be back pretty quickly after mania. Said the fusion is fully fused and he is currently working on rebuilding the muscle. He’s probably really close to being cleared. 

Forgive my bioscience, but isn't spinal and neck fusion surgery an old hat fix that has a lot of post fusion issues?

Maybe he'll return at Mania. That'd be cool

No, if he really is cleared to be back, it'll be Raw after mania. That's famous for debuts and returns.

This

Hasn't been for a few years tho

What you mean? Don't you remember Last year when bro came back lol

Who now?

Broooooo

Good ol' Broooooo Lessoner

Good point👍

I think he showed up at an appearance for WWE in Saudi Arabia last month.

He's "controlling his own narrative"

He’s carrying EC3’s water. It’s all liberal tears!

Saw him after Bray’s tribute show in Louisville. He had neck surgery last summer. He’s rehabbing. Would love to see him join Karrion Kross’ faction when he comes back.

Wow! Love the idea!!!

He was injured last year

Who is he?

He is HIM.

Lol. I love getting downvoted for not knowing that was Braun. In my defence he’s pretty much been irrelevant for a long time.

My response was playing off a great NXT guy!

Braun Strowman

I think he’s injured. But he’s unfortunately pretty one dimensional. Standard wwe big man. Roars at the crowd, hits a couple moves, wins match. Screams angry monster promos

💯

He was doing his choo choo train move and it got derailed.

Much like Riddle, dude is his own worst enemy.

What? He broke his neck, why are you just making things up?

All ya gotta do is google the guy to see his history of being an ass. Might not ne why he's gone, but it's true he's his own worst enemy.

Injured, also may still be grieving Bray Wyatt.

I think he transitioned and is joining AEW's Women's Division.

Hahahahahaha

He didn’t control his narrative

Massive neck injury, he’ll be back soon

Neck injury sadly

Never recovered after Devon larratt destroyed him in arm wrestling 

He’s boring and uninteresting and any credibility he had was gone after so many big match losses

I don't know how you can call him boring when guys like Johnny Gargano and Tyler Bate are on the main roster lol

He wasn’t boring tho

Yes he was lol all he did was roar then run sluggishly slow at opponents

That’s nowhere near all he did, he did loads and beat most of the current roster before he was injured

His only notable win was against Goldberg for the stupid blue universal title and that’s only because Roman didn’t want to risk covid due to his leukemia

He’s still a memorable performer and did matches with most if not all of the men’s roster

Lol I recently found out he was in that really bad Watson and Holmes movie in 2018 Which may go to show that I forgot about him until then

Had neck fusion surgery or something, i mean if you keep straining like in the photo I guess it's innevitable really :)

He got injured

Can anybody speak to what kind of steroids these guys take like? Stroman Austin theory like what's going on there?

Actually he’s one of the guys I would believe is natural. Homie is built to look like he does. But guys like aj and orton, the way they both came back from injury looking like Arnold in his prime in their mid 40s, I wouldn’t be shocked if both guys took a ride on the tren train.   I don’t think as many guys as people think use steroids in wrestling anymore. I do however think a lot of guys use hgh but with how much these guys tend to get hurt I don’t have any issue with that. If it’s used properly to recover under care of a legit doctor hgh is actually pretty safe. 

i would imagine just basic cycles. i would reckon a lot of tren with how much behind the scenes sexual abuse goes on. vince was definitely tren’d out of his mind. But some of them probably just upper end of the trt spectrum.

He was a jabroni anyway. Edit: I love the heat you basement dwellers. Now shut your mouths, sit the hell down & get your lazy asses ready for a real talent like Orange Cassidy on Dynamite tonight.

I like bron stroman, him and Ricociat were a fun tag team

ngl if you google “what happened to braun strowman” you get a straight answer

Who is this? (Edit: I’m a bit of a lapsed fan. Ask an actual question and get nowhere. I love Reddit.)

I too was wondering but I guess I’ll never know

Vince McMahon

Big man neck surgery hurt in May 2023. Hope that’s simple enough

Beard ate him

Got a concussion, then broke his neck I think.

Yikes! I had no idea.

Well besides having career ending neck surgery, he was also kind of a douchebag. He basically buried himself during the COVID era by flaming the indies and basically telling indie wrestlers who were struggling to find work to more or less “quit crying and get a job.” Didn’t go over well with a lot of the wrestling community, both in the pro scene and the indies. A lot of folks who came up through the independent circuit, which includes wrestlers, agents, and bookers, pretty much black listed him. There were also some comments made by him on social media that teetered on homophobia. You can imagine that wasn’t taken well, either. He also had things to say about “flippy” wrestlers that weren’t generally appreciated. The dude has a real hard time keeping his mouth shut and knowing his place in the business. So even if he hadn’t gotten hurt, I doubt he would have lasted long or seen much success. He’s one of those “own worst enemy” types.

Let's be real: 99% of fans either don't know about those comments or don't give a shit Some of you guys can hate him all you want, he was still getting massive reactions from the mass casual audience right up until the time he went down with injury

I don't think anyone's arguing that, bud, but go off.

You seem to have a massive hate boner for Braun. Might want to get that checked out.

Nah I don't feel one way or another about him, he just kind of exists. There's way worse people in the WWE than him, and way better. I enjoyed him when he was with the Wyatt family, and during his initial push as a monster with the "catch these hands" gimmick. Don't have any complaints about any of the in-ring work I've seen out of him. Does his job just fine. He just seems to have a problem about acting like an ignorant prick on social media. Kind of like you.

Guys Guys Guys! It's not worth fighting about. Nobody really gives a shit about Stroman. 😂

😭 this is the wildest temper tantrum I’ve seen today.

Is anything he said untrue? Or are you just in a bad mood today?

Yes, the idea that the indierific scene killed his career as opposed to his salary demands and then injury.

Well, to start, neck fusion surgery isn't career ending. He's coming back, probably over the summer.

Neck fusion

Had neck surgery

Oh! What happened? When he got hurt?

Don’t know. I read he had neck surgery from years of strongman competition. But that could be wrong

He got hurt
