Sounds like a bunch of nothing "dirt sheet news".
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!
I'd heard it was because he was working with 2 blown out knees... So as he's working hurt, they can't trust him to handle a champions worksheet...

This is the one I've heard. He's been working with busted knees and will require surgery at some point.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider posted a note today, clarifying his statements by suggesting that Strowman's issues were in the past and that at no time did he mean to imply that he is currently in the doghouse or has any sort of backstage heat with WWE or Vince McMahon. He is not in any sort of trouble, which would be obvious as he remains in the main event picture.
"While discussing Strowman and why WWE has yet to go with him as Universal Champion, I discussed several things that had happened in the past with him as examples of why the company has, at times, backed off on him during periods where it appeared he was destined to be the top tier babyface. These were issues that were discussed as background details, not anything that was presented as “breaking news” or as issues that led into the WWE’s current booking direction. So, again, Braun is not dealing with any heat. He’s not being booked to be punished for anything and like everyone else who goes out and performs in a wrestling ring, he deserves better than to have stories that aren’t rooted in reality reported about him. "
Clarification on the matter... sites were reporting it as breaking news, but apparently it's all over nothing. Good to know.
Again, saw a few of those "Brawn's in trouble" stories after I commented last on this. Seemed a bit out of the blue at the time, so I'm glad that the journalists have backed off and apologised for stirring shit about him. Nice to actually see some professionalism and courtesy shown!

It's not so much the journalists as it is the fake news wrestling sites reporting bunk shit or taking things said on podcasts out of context entirely which then results in fans taking their anger out on the journalists who had their comments taken out of context.

This shit is everywhere and it's so annoying. Worst part is the people that don't see past the bullshit headlines. A good example I remember from a few years ago was a headline that said that a football player "wants to move to" another club. Reading the article, he just said that it's flattering being linked with larger clubs because it shows that he's doing a good job. Reading the headline though makes it look like he is actively looking to leave. That's why I always like to read them. Sadly, they can put a sentence in there and it seems legit, but a whole sentence out of context can still not mean what it actually meant.
I'm glad in this case that the guy has come out and defended himself so that it doesn't seem like he's spreading bullshit. Need more of that really. I was hoping that this wouldn't be true, as I do like Stowman.
People are reporting that his attitude backstage, leaving early and arriving late, are contributing factors who Storwmans push not quite going where fans were expecting. Would be a shame if it's true, but at the same time, you'd think people in his position would know better.
