Mark Henry Believes Braun Strowman Was Disenchanted With WWE

For the past couple of months, WWE has been releasing several employees including WWE Superstars, beginning with the release of Superstars such as Samoa Joe and Mickie James in April.

Last week, WWE held yet another round of cuts from the company and it included several big names. The most shocking name on the list was undoubtedly Braun Strowman.

Braun Strowman already commented on his release as he was one of the mainstays of the company for several years and a former WWE Universal Champion.

While speaking on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry talked about Braun Strowman being released by WWE, stating that he wouldn’t have let him go if it was up to Henry. Henry also believed that Braun Strowman was disenchanted with WWE.

“I wouldn’t have let him go. But you know what? If he wasn’t happy, and he asked them for more grace, more time or more money or something and they didn’t want to pay it, you’ve got to part ways. But I don’t know what the circumstances were with their relationship. With me I knew what that was. With him I don’t know.

“But if I were to speculate, there was an opportunity with him and Brock three years ago, and it never came. During the pandemic he had a little shine, but it wasn’t like if he was to be in that role now. And I don’t know if it was going his direction. Maybe he was the one that was disenchanted. I don’t know, I’d love to ask him.”

Braun Strowman already showed off his new look after being released and has also commented on his future in the pro wrestling business. We will have to wait and see which pro wrestling company he will call his home next.
