Braun Strowman Shuts Down Rumors of Returning to WWE on Part-Time Basis

Braun Strowman isn’t here for the rumors—and he’s calling out the “dirt sheets” over speculation that he’s on his way back to WWE.

Speaking on In the Kliq, the former WWE Superstar addressed Bill Apter’s report claiming Strowman might return to the company on a part-time basis. But Strowman made it clear he’s not interested right now—and he’s not thrilled about the talk going around either.

“Don’t believe the stuff you hear on these dirt sheets, because none of them are true. You’ll see me when I feel like letting you see me when it comes to that. But I’m really focused right now on the food space. I’ve got four movies that I’m attached to next year. I’m in talks with four or five other television shows.”

Despite insisting he could return to wrestling “whenever I want,” Strowman said he’s finally feeling healthy for the first time in years. He revealed that constant injuries plagued his career, and now that he has time to rest, he’s not rushing back into the grind.

“Don’t get me wrong, I still miss being in the ring, and these things are very capable of being passed out whenever I want to. But I’m also enjoying a little break, because my body is starting to somewhat feel normal. I’m getting some of these injuries healed up that were nagging for years and stuff like that, because I never really had time to fully recover from anything. It was just go, go, go.”

But the most telling part of his interview came when he described his role in WWE as more of a utility man than a chosen one. According to Strowman, he was never WWE’s first option—but always the one they called when things went south.

“I’ve always said this—I was never their plan A. But anytime the show was in turmoil or something was going wrong, there was this little glass box over here that said, ‘In case of emergency, break,’ and my name was underneath it. Because no matter what, when you hit that button—guess what happened? People tuned in and watched.”

That comment throws subtle shade at WWE’s reliance on him during unpredictable moments—while still making it clear he knows his own value. Whether he’ll return one day remains to be seen, but Strowman appears content letting the wrestling world wait while he builds something new.
