WWE Releases: Where might each main roster star land next?

#1 AEW is the most likely destination for former WWE Superstar Braun Strowman

Signed to the promotion since 2013, WWE is the only professional wrestling company that Braun Strowman has ever called home.

Throughout his time on the WWE main roster, Strowman has more often than not been a featured player. The mammoth 37-year-old was handpicked to face (and defeat) Shane McMahon in a Steel Cage match at WrestleMania 37.

He was also a participant in a Triple Threat bout for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash just a few weeks ago. To say that his release is shocking is an understatement.

However, when it comes to the most likely next destination for Braun, one company stands out above all others. The former Universal Champion is unlikely to come cheap, particularly after spending years in the main event picture for WWE - making AEW the only other company with enough resources to afford him.

Tony Khan has already recently admitted that the Jacksonville-based promotion requires more talent as it continues to expand. Having shared the ring with every major WWE star of the last five years, Strowman is soon to become one of the biggest free agents on the market.

Over the past few months, AEW has already signed a couple of legendary big men in Paul Wight and Mark Henry. There is potential for Strowman to work storylines with both. Henry, in particular, has gone on record as saying that he would like to have one more match before he retires. Could Braun Strowman now be the man that Henry faces in that bout?

Elsewhere on the AEW roster, Strowman might work well with Wardlow and Luchasaurus, in addition to the likes of MJF, Jake Hager, Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho.

There are some intriguing possibilities for Strowman in AEW.
