The reliable WrestleVotes have taken to Twitter to reveal their shock at these releases, considering both Aleister Black and Braun Strowman are ‘well liked’ backstage in WWE.
They Tweeted ‘The releases of Braun Strowman & Aleister Black surprise me for a number of reasons considering both were well liked, and as of recently, considered for big roles upon the live crowd returns. Hell, Strowman wrestled a McMahon at Mania not 3 months ago. Weird.’
