Braun Strowman Discusses His Return To WWE, What Is Different Now

In an interview on “The Ringer Wrestling Show,” Braun Strowman shared his perspective on his return to WWE, acknowledging that he sees things differently since his comeback. Strowman reflected on his first run with the company and realized that being too much of a “perfectionist” tainted his perspective during that time.

“It’s something that’s a blessing and a curse that I have. It’s not only that I do it in wrestling, but I’m a perfectionist [overall].”

Braun Strowman admitted that during his first stint with WWE, he used to worry about little things that were out of his control and lost sight of what was truly important. He was surprisingly released from his contract in 2021 after six years with the company, during which he became the Universal Champion, but Strowman often took his success for granted, thinking it would never end.

“You get caught up in the hustle and bustle that comes with this celebrity life and it turned me into something that I wasn’t. It turned me away from this shy, bullied kid that was going to prove the world wrong that told him he couldn’t do anything. And I started finding myself turning into those people that told me I wasn’t going to amount to anything.”

Strowman had an “epiphany” during his time off that made him realize “how amazing” his life in WWE had been.

“[Now,] I take every opportunity that this company gives me because I don’t know when my last opportunity’s going to be. I take every one that they give me and I do the absolute most that I can with it because they are that special.”
