Report: Possible Backstage Heat On Braun Strowman
The Monster Among Men may not be making too many friends backstage...
Nov 7, 2022
Braun Strowman may have backstage heat in WWE, according to a new report.
The Monster Among Men caused a stir on social media over the weekend when he tweeted:
"Holy hell @TheGiantOmos can you believe we got 47 and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️reminded the people that no one cares about all these floppy floppers. Giants and Monster > flippy flipper bag your grocery's at @kroger #AirportTest #SizeIsThePrize #SwoleIsTheGoal"
This led to a swathe of negative responses from various wrestlers, including Mustafa Ali, Chris Jericho and Will Ospreay.
Strowman later tweeted:
"Yo yo all my brothers and sisters in the locker room no matter where you came from. I have mad respect. We have all worked very hard to be where we are. And all are here for a reason. Take a joke iwc. Y'all come at me none stop and the second I fire back y'all melt"
Per Mike Johnson on PWInsider Elite, Strowman can be his 'own worst enemy' when it comes to locker room etiquette.
"One of the things I heard from multiple people (and we’re talking 4 different people) was that there are times where Strowman is negligent when it comes to showing up on time. He has a reputation at times for leaving a little early and sometimes makes mistakes in terms of etiquette in the backstage scene and the locker room and is sometimes as one person put it, 'his own worst enemy' and 'his worst advocate'".
Johnson continued, noting that Braun's behaviour has caused WWE management to temper their expectations when it comes to him:
"They will be high on him and just when he gets to the point where you would think the next step would be putting him into the centerpiece position for the company something happens and he makes some kind of misstep backstage and people within management kind of cool on him and they take a step back".
Strowman returned to WWE in early September, having been released in June of 2021.
