Former WWE star Braun Strowman has provided an update on whether he’s retired from wrestling months after his departure from the company.
Strowman was released by WWE in May, and hasn’t had any matches or made any other wrestling-related appearances since then.
In an interview with Going Ringside, Strowman clarified that he isn’t fully retired, but he is happy taking a break for the time being.
He said:
“I’m taking a break right now.
“These (hands) are always ready if anybody wants them, but right now, I’m enjoying taking a little break, getting my body healed back up as normal as I can, and experiencing some other things that life has to experience.
“I loved my time with WWE, but it took up every bit of my time. Now I’m having some opportunities to get out and do some other stuff, see some other things.
“I’ve made some ventures, I have a tequila brand now, Quintaliza, we’re working on that, so just living life and having fun.”
