Ex-World Champion Calls Out WWE For Being “Stupid” To Release Him
An ex-WWE Champion still appears sour about his release from the promotion.
Braun Strowman minced no words while addressing a fan’s question about the company using his brand value for marketing despite his release.
Strowman, real name Adam Scherr, was one of the wrestlers released on May 2, which also included Shayna Baszler, Katana Chance, and Dakota Kai.
The fan indicated that the Stamford promotion was featuring him in its marketing campaigns despite not having him on its payroll for over two months.
WWESummerSlam sure highlights a guy they cut from the roster in @Adamscherr99 a lot in promo highlights whether it be on @netflix Unreal or on the preshow for Summer Slam. Makes you wonder why the hell he was cut if they are using his image and likeness so much? @TripleH 🤔
To this, Strowman took a dig at the company’s higher-ups, calling their decision “stupid.”
Casue someone made a stupid business decision!!!!

Braun Strowman Calls Out WWE’s Love For Nepotism
Karrion Kross challenged Sami Zayn at SummerSlam, but lost, bringing their long-standing rivalry to a close.
During the post-show, the fans at MetLife Stadium expressed support for Kross by chanting “We Want Kross” at Triple H.
The WWE Chief Content Officer either misheard their chants or brushed them off sarcastically; either way, it did not sit well with Kross, who shared the video with a personal message.
Strowman did not let it slide either, as he targeted the company on X for its love of nepotism.
You know they don’t care about the fans!!!!! They care about nepotism ass kisser’s and there buddies!!!!
