Braun Strowman on his time in WWE: “Sometimes the script sucked”

Adam Scherr, better known as Braun Strowman in WWE, has found success outside the professional wrestling business. Scherr hosts a show on USA Network called Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman, whose first season has garnered good audience ratings. As a result, the channel has renewed the show for a second season.

Success has led Scherr to co-found a production company named Meat Castle Media, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. In light of the announcement, the outlet interviewed Scherr, who compared his current work to his time as a WWE superstar.

"For me, the big eye-opening thing was not having my hands tied. They’ve allowed me to be me, whereas my hands were tied creatively for the last 12 years (in WWE), and while that’s not a bad thing — I was very blessed with what I got to do — but at the end of the day, I was playing a character on a show, and sometimes the script sucked. I mean, no offense, I hated it, but I had to go in there and make the best of it because that was my job. Well, now with this opportunity… my creative input is welcomed, it’s not dismissed", he stated.

Braun Strowman was released by WWE in May of last year as part of a wave of releases by the company. This marked the end of a 12-year tenure with the company (only interrupted by a brief release between 2021 and 2022 as part of a wave of cuts carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic).

Since his departure, Strowman has not returned to compete in a professional wrestling ring. Instead, he began his television journey with "Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman," a travel + food style program. In it, Strowman travels throughout the United States, visiting restaurants and culinary establishments, where he sets out to try the entire menu, or a good portion of it.
