Bill Apter doesn't think WWE had long-term plans for Braun Strowman

The Monster of All Monsters didn't accomplish much in his second run with the company. He didn't win a single championship after he returned.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine, Bill Apter commented on Braun Strowman's release by stating that he didn't think WWE had long-term plans for him.

​

"I don't think they had long-term plans with Strowman," Apter said. "I don't know if it's on his end, where he didn'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's been there before. I don't think they looked at him for long-term programs, and I think that's why he's gone."

Strowman is a WWE Triple Crown Champion. It'll be interesting to see what he does next.
