WWE has released a number of stars over the past year, but it comes as a shock that one of the names who was only released back in May has now claimed he is semi-retired.
Braun Strowman recently spoke to Collider, where he revealed that wrestling is no longer his focus after almost a decade in the ring.
“Even like in our business too, like the wrestling side of things – I say ‘our business,’ I’m semi-retired from wrestling now too because I want to be an actor – but I always have so much admiration for these young and up-and-coming talents that are looking for a shoe in, a place to get in by putting their bodies (on the line), going the extra mile, being the first one to raise their hand, not even knowing what I’m going to do to their poor soul and just going ‘I’ll volunteer for it,'” he revealed.

The former Universal Champion noted that he is now focused on acting and looking to pursue that as a career. The Monster Among Monsters had a decent run with the company. Besides holding the Universal Title, he is a former Intercontinental Champion, a two-time Tag Team Champion, and a former Money in the Bank winner.
