Former WWE star Braun Strowman has voiced his discontent with the organization, claiming it disregards its fans. His remarks surfaced on social media in reaction to comments made by fellow wrestler Karrion Kross regarding a recent incident during the SummerSlam post-show.
During the event, chants from the audience expressing support for Kross were reportedly misinterpreted by WWE Executive Vice President Triple H. In response to the crowd’s “We want Kross” chants, Triple H remarked, “You want Brock? You got him,” referring to the return of Brock Lesnar. Strowman took to Twitter to express his frustration, stating, “You know they don’t care about the fans!!! They care about nepotism a** kisser’s and their buddies!!!!”
The exchange highlights a growing sentiment among some WWE performers that fan engagement is not being prioritized. Kross also responded on social media, emphasizing, “Unreal. They write the scripts…But the fans write the truth. Thank you, Tick tock.” His comments suggest a disconnect between WWE management and its audience.
Strowman, who was released by WWE in May 2023 after having returned to the company in 2022 as part of a creative overhaul led by Triple H, is preparing for a new television venture. His show, titled “Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman,” is set to premiere this fall on the USA Network.
The situation reflects ongoing tensions within WWE regarding how fan voices are perceived and prioritized. As the organization continues to evolve, the challenge remains to balance creative decisions with audience expectations.
With the wrestling promotion’s reputation at stake, fans and wrestlers alike are closely watching how WWE addresses these concerns moving forward.
