Speaking on Sportskeeda&#8217;s <em>The Wrestling Time Machine<\/em> podcast, Bill Apter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/news-i-think-gone-legend-explains-braun-strowman-s-wwe-release-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">suggested that the company did not have long-term plans for Strowman<\/a>, and that is why the company decided to release him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think they had long-term plans with Braun Strowman,&#8221; Apter said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s on his end, where he didn&#8217;t want a full-time thing. He did go on some of the European trips and things, and he did put some guys over on TV. He&#8217;s been there before. I don&#8217;t think they looked at him for long-term programs, and I think that&#8217;s why he&#8217;s gone.&#8221; [0:55 \u2013 1:20]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>You can check out Apter&#8217;s comments in the video below:<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"Dutch Mantell on Braun Strowman&#039;s WWE release\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/26E2w25NRS4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"26E2w25NRS4\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/26E2w25NRS4\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/26E2w25NRS4\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Strowman had some intense battles with Jacob Fatu ahead of WrestleMania 41.
