Braun Strowman responds to recent criticism during WWE hiatus

WWE Superstar Braun Strowman has responded to criticism for his recent actions amid his absence from in-ring action. The Monster of All Monsters has not appeared on television for nearly two months.

The 41-year-old recently shared a video after hunting deer on Thanksgiving. The social media update received mixed reactions from fans. While some criticized the WWE Superstar for his actions, others did not find anything wrong.

Earlier today, Ringside News shared the video on X (FKA Twitter) and joked about Christmas getting canceled after Braun Strowman killed eight deer on Thanksgiving. The latter responded to the post, acknowledging the hunt and noting that he and his mates ate well at the farm this year.

"We ate good at the farm this year," he wrote.

On the September 30 edition of Monday Night RAW, Strowman locked horns with Bronson Reed in a Last Monster Standing Match. Unfortunately, the former WWE Universal Champion tore his groin during the contest. Despite the injury, he won the match as he received assistance from a returning Seth Rollins, who took out the Aussie.

Braun Strowman explains why he will not join popular WWE faction

When The Wyatt Sicks made their WWE debut on the RAW following Clash at the Castle, it was speculated that Braun Strowman could also be a part of the mysterious faction, considering his close relations with the late Bray Wyatt. However, it did not happen as he continued to stay away from the group.

In an interview with The Ringer earlier this year, The Monster Among Men pointed out that The Wyatt Sicks were terrifying. Strowman added that he intentionally tried to distance himself from them. He reasoned that the faction could bring out the monster in him that he had been hiding inside.

"They’re fu**ing terrifying. There’s no other way to put it. I’ve said this a couple of times in interviews. I’m purposely trying to stay as far away as I can right now because that part of me I work really hard to put away. There’s a monster instead of this monster, and I feel him rattle his cage because there’s something about them that I can feel myself wanting to be pulled. I’m fighting it. I don’t want to go there. I don’t want to let him back out. If they’re able to pull it back out of me, I fear for myself. I fear for anything that’s around me. I’m not a good person when it comes out, and I’m very good at doing bad things to people," he said. [H/T: Fightful]
