3 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 3 we hope aren't: Huge plans for WrestleMania 38 main event revealed, Bizarre reason why WWE wants Braun Strowman to return

#3. Hope isn't true: Why WWE wants to bring back Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman was shockingly released by WWE In 2021

When looking at the list of WWE releases in 2021, there were a few names that seemed to be inevitably in for a return. Braun Strowman was arguably the most shocking WWE release of 2021.

The reported reason behind his release was that Braun Strowman was on quite a lucrative 7-figure contract. It's a shame because it only meant that Braun Strowman knew his worth when negotiating his deal and likely secured it in a good time when WWE was handing out contracts.

With a few of the names jumping to AEW, WWE didn't want to take the same chance with The Monster Among Men. There is now reportedly interest from WWE in bringing Braun Strowman back, per The Wrestling Observer Newsletter:

There is interest in bringing Strowman back, especially after recent AEW signings.

While we would love to see Braun Strowman return to WWE and think that he's a better fit for them than AEW, we hope this isn't true because AEW shouldn't be the sole reason why WWE wants to bring back Braun Strowman. He's a valuable talent and shouldn't be treated like any other disposable superstar.

All we can hope for is that WWE doesn't offer a pay cut to Braun Strowman for a return.
