The wrestling world is still coming to terms with the news of Braun Strowman’s WWE release. Going from competing in the main event and challenging for the world title, to being released in just a few months.
However, Strowman is not the first superstar to sign a big-money deal only to find the rug pulled out from under them.
Talking in a recent interview with SK Wrestling, Erick Redbeard (formerly known as Erick Rowan) had some words of encouragement for his former Wyatt Family brother.
“You know, a year ago, I was in the same position,” Rowan said. “That’s what you get when you sign that big-money contract. It’s not guaranteed money, man! [laughs]. Nothing in this world is guaranteed. Just get back on, just get back on the horse and keep moving on, man.”
The World is Braun Strowman’s Oyster Right Now
There has been no word yet as to where Braun Strowman is going to head, but he would be an asset to any promotion. The monster among men brings a draw that not many can match these days. Having grown exponentially in recent years. This is in terms of physique, in-ring and mic skills, as well as general character development.
There are many interesting potential feuds for the big man, depending on where Braun Strowman decides to go next. It’s not inconceivable that he and Erick Redbeard could end up on the same card someday in the future.
Since leaving WWE, Erick has refrained from signing with anybody. He did make a single once-off appearance for AEW at the Brodie Lee tribute show. Recently, Redbeard has confirmed he has reached an agreement with a company, but the details have yet to be confirmed. One thing is for sure, any match involving him, and Braun Strowman would have a huge draw, especially with the history the pair share. The Brodie Lee connection would also make it an emotional moment for sure.
