Braun Strowman's WWE release stunned the wrestling world
Based on his size and strength, Braun Strowman seemed like the kind of star WWE could feature for many years. The Monster Among Men enjoyed plenty of success during his time with the company, and he won the Universal Championship in 2020. But just a few weeks after he challenged for the WWE Championship, the company released him on June 2, 2021.
Now known as 'The Titan,' Adam Scherr is set to compete in a few interesting matches in the near future. Aside from this tag team bout in Dubai, the former WWE star will reunite with a former Wyatt Family brother at an independent wrestling show.
