WWE release Strowman, Black and others
Didn't see this coming, but WWE has released Braun Strowman.
Others released are:
Aleister Black
Ruby Riott
Lana
Santana Garrett
Buddy Murphy
Really didn't see Strowman getting released any time soon though, so he's either done something or he's asked to leave. Weird one though either way.

Admin and 4CW Head Booker · 5,100 commentsAbsolutely bewildering. They JUST brought back and repackaged Black. They had him knock out Big E, then released him.
Braun Strowman, main eventing PPVs with World Title matches like a month ago now he's gone.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!

Admin · 3,242 commentsYeah this is pretty weird. Stowman looked like he was getting a push and would continue in the main event for a while... Black is one that I've read for a while is highly thought off by WWE.
Lana is the only one I'm not surprised at purely based on her husband wrestling elsewhere. I was surprised she didn't go with him at the time.

Admin · 3,242 commentsBraun Strowman's release from WWE was arguably the most shocking to fans, however, fightfulselect.com reports that some talent didn't find it all that surprising, pointing mainly to the "monster deal" he signed in 2019 that was said to have been paying him upwards of $1 million annually. The report hints that Strowman played hard-ball with WWE and waited until the last minute to sign his new contract as he knew what his worth was.
One possible reason. WWE backstagers have said it's budget cuts so it's quite possible he was just on too much.
