Braun Strowman almost quit WWE even before he even made it to the main roster, as per his latest comments.
The Monster Among Men debuted on WWE RAW in August 2015 after he spent two years in developmental. Prior to his arrival on the red brand, Strowman was dealing with several injuries, and he was apparently on the verge of quitting WWE.
The former WWE Universal Champion looked back on this challenging time during an interview he did as part of his involvement with Free The Narrative II.

Braun Strowman had a successful WWE run
One wonders what would have happened if Braun Strowman decided to quit WWE before his main roster debut. The Monster Among Men was immediately pushed as a major heel when he arrived on WWE RAW.

Unfortunately, Braun Strowman wasn't used to his full potential during his main roster run. Braun Strowman was possibly the hottest act in WWE in 2017, but his momentum came crashing down when he lost to Brock Lesnar at No Mercy 2017.
Strowman went on to win the Universal Champion last year at WrestleMania, but this reign didn't impress many fans. The Monster Among Men lost the title to The Fiend a few months later, and he never won another championship during his run with the company.
In the aftermath of his release from WWE, Strowman remains a big name in the wrestling world, and he's bound to bring major buzz to any promotion that signs him.
