Speaking on WWE After The Bell, Braun Strowman commented on talks he had with other promotions following his 2021 WWE release.

Strowman wrestled several indie matches and for his and EC3’s Control Your Narrative promotion. Strowman returned to WWE on the September 5 edition of Raw.

“We (Strowman and his agent) talked to everybody, people reached out about stuff. I kind of play around with the ideas and I always said in interviews, and people thought I was stupid for it, ‘I will never put on a pair of boots for anybody besides WWE’ and I stuck to my word.

“I never put on another pair of boots. I went out, started my own thing, worked for myself, gave young talent a place to come to work, make a living, and hone their craft in CYN. I stuck my guns. I will never wrestle for anyone other than myself or WWE. Here we are, the monster is home.”
