It has been revealed by Fightful Select that former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman held talks with AEW following his WWE release on June 2, 2021.
In the report, Fightful point out that while talks were held, IMPACT Wrestling is very much the frontrunner in terms of securing Strowman’s signature.
The report notes that there is a big push within IMPACT to get Braun Strowman on board, and that it’s not a secret from talent. Fightfil has not confirmed any kind of contract signing, but note many within IMPACT believe Braun is heading there soon.
Along with Bray Wyatt, Strowman is likely the most shocking of WWE’s 2021 releases, as there were no hints he was unhappy, or that WWE were planning on letting him go.
If he was to sign with IMPACT, we could still see him on AEW TV at some point, considering how closely the two promotions have been working over the past year.
