How did Braun Strowman's WWE peers and other wrestlers react to his recent social media antics?
WWE Superstar Braun Strowman's recent tweet has caused quite an uproar on social media. His “floppy floppers” comment on other wrestlers has been subjected to much debate. Some were humorous in their response to his antics while others were outright blunt.
It all started with the hyped ‘Monster vs. Giant’ fight at WWE Crown Jewel 2022. Omos and Strowman put on a solid match and exceeded the expectations of many. However, the former Universal Champion bragged about the “47 stars” he got after his fight. He also suggested that "flippy flipper" wrestlers should just bag groceries.

The Monster of All Monsters believes that his fight with Omos should have gotten more acknowledgement. Mustafa Ali was quick to respond with a subtle warning, referencing Strowman's release by WWE in 2021.
Former Intercontinental Champion Ricochet also gave his opinion on the matter by referencing Braun’s weight. It was a hilarious dig at a backstage encounter he had with a fan.
Just don’t ask him to stand on a scale or he’ll threaten to sue you hahaha twitter.com/Adamscherr99/s… https://t.co/Ql6t9Yr5WP
Superstars from other promotions also jumped in on the Twitter debate. AEW icon Chris Jericho gave a cheeky response to the situation while Serpentico didn’t hold back his words.
I used to bag groceries. twitter.com/adamscherr99/s…
so wait, the guy who found himself out of a job ran an indie with himself as the headliner and drew 24 people at a bar in Orlando talking about how big and bad he is?
surely a joke, yeah?
New Japan Pro Wrestling star Will Osprey also responded and believed that Braun Strowman could have just been proud of his Crown Jewel match rather than taking a swipe at his co-workers. Keith Lee was more philosophical in his reply.
Why you so mad about making money 😂
It’s dead funny that you actually done such a great job and yet you’re mad at other people that do the same job as you.
Relax my guy, just say you really enjoyed showing super heavyweight wrestling twitter.com/Adamscherr99/s…
There are many different flavors of ice cream. One does not rule all. Anyone with minor business sense understands this.
There is obviously much and more that I *could* say... but honestly... the discussion is beneath me. twitter.com/JasonDixonSTM/…
In the aftermath of Braun Strowman's apology tweet, former AEW star Joey Janela commented using a GIF of Triple H, apparently alluding to the WWE Head of Creative stepping in to take control of the situation.
Solomonster reveals the problem with WWE star Braun Strowman and the reason for his jibes at other wrestlers
Jason Solomon, a mainstay of House of Glory Wrestling in New York, recently reacted to Strowman's controversial tweets in his podcast. He believed the former Universal Champion struggles with his insecurity at times, causing him to lash out at his competition.
"He (Strowman) cannot help himself but put other wrestlers down. The one thing I have noticed about Braun Strowman, when I do see his tweets pop up and he says something stupid and he ends up in the news, he comes across as... very insecure person." (1:47 - 2:44)
Solomon continued, noting that insecure people often put others down to make themselves feel better.
"That's what insecure people do. They will put others down for no reason at all, other than just to make themselves feel better because there is something about themselves they don't like." (2:45 - 2:58)
Regardless of the comments, Braun Strowman is on a great start to his second main roster run. He is still undefeated, even in dark matches and house shows, and is living up to his name of Monster of All Monsters.
