Former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman was recently interviewed by Lilian Garcia. The Monster Among Men discussed how he's adapted to the COVID-19 situation we all find ourselves in currently and also spoke about a backstage meeting he had with Vince McMahon.
Speaking about how his schedule has changed because of the COVID-19 outbreak, Strowman said that having more time at home has helped him regroup and take a step back:
Having this time at home, it could be bad. But for some odd reason, it's [helped me] to step back and go, 'oh my God, look what I have done in the last four-and-a-half years of my life.' From [being] two-time tag champs, Intercontinental champ, Money In The Bank, the Greatest Royal Rumble winner, Andre The Giant Battle Memorial winner, and Universal champ. It gives me a chance to step back and go, 'holy cow'. H/T: WrestlingINC
Braun Strowman had a meeting with Vince McMahon about his spot in WWE
Braun Strowman went on to talk about a meeting he had with Vince McMahon. Strowman said that he was worried about his place in WWE but Vince McMahon gave him reassurances. Strowman also appreciated that Vince McMahon took time out of his busy schedule to have a word with him:
I got to a point where I felt like I was a number in the system. I needed to address this. I went in and I talked to Vince; we sat down and literally had a father/son conversation. He gave me this sense of reassurance and a sense of wealth that I thought I didn't have. That was just, like, wow.
I can't thank him enough for taking the time. I mean, at the end of the day, he has so much stuff going on. You know how awesome of a human [being] he is, and how loyal he is, and things like that. And it's just the whole piece of the narrative that people try to push that he's a monster just makes me so mad, 'cause I know what type of man he really is. I'm forever indebted to him for him taking the time just to give me this reassurance. H/T: WrestlingINC
