“One Big Mistake,” John Cena Sr. Laments Braun Strowman Being Released By WWE

Commenting upon the recent controversial releases of WWE superstars, John Cena Sr. talked about Braun Strowman being released by WWE

The Monster Among Men had made his WWE debut in 2015 as a member of The Wyatt Family. He went to earn many accolades including the Universal Championship, Intercontinental Championship, the 2019 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy and many more. Earlier this month in an indeed shocking move, the company had released him along with fellow superstars Ruby Riott and Aleister Black.

Here’s What John Cena Sr. Had To Say About Braun Strowman Being Released By WWE

In a recent video with Boston Wrestling MWF’s Dan Mirade, John Cena’s father questioned WWE’s actions as to why would you release a man like Braun Strowman. “The potential is unlimited with this man. When you first had him, you billed him as a giant, as a superstar. He tipped over trucks and cars. He destroyed people.” 

Calling this decision “one big mistake” was all he had to say. “If AEW doesn’t pick that man up or New Japan Pro, there’s something wrong with both of them.”

John Cena Sr. also added that Braun Strowman is a “great human being” who has a presentation that fans can believe in. He also questioned why WWE turned him into a comedy character after initially presenting him as one of the most feared people on the roster.

What’s Next For Braun Strowman?

In 2020, Braun Strowman had said on an episode of Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast that he would never wrestle for another company outside of WWE. But given the circumstances of his release, John Cena Sr. thinks Strowman should change his mind.
