Strowman held the Universal Championship for a brief period before dropping it to The Fiend at SummerSlam 2020. He briefly returned to the title picture in May 2021 WWE later released him in a cost-cutting move in June. He went on to launch a wrestling promotion called Control Your Narrative along with EC3.
It’s been about a year since WWE released Strowman, and he still holds major star power. Judging by the responses he received on Twitter, Strowman’s appearance could possibly attract a large number of fans.
