We previously reported on Braun Strowman’s tweets following his Crown Jewel encounter with Omos. Following their match, Strowman took to Twitter to mock “flippy floppy” wrestlers, which led to some backlash over the social media app. Fightful Select is reporting that there is now heat on Strowman over the incident.
According to people within WWE, Strowman has been on his best behavior backstage and has been easy to deal with, but that his social media activity is another story and WWE management is aware of it. One official said they thought that Strowman’s comments were “immature.”
This is not a work or an angle, and is unlikely to be turned into one. It was noted that Strowman could potentially be ribbed or referenced onscreen for his comments. One talent who said that they will “never do a flip in their life” noted that Strowman shouldn’t have made the tweets, noting, “we need them, and they need us. Wrestling is everything. There’s very little truly right and wrong. He didn’t come up in the business doing the things that a lot of those people did, so he probably doesn’t understand.”
