Following his release from WWE last year, Strowman transitioned into television hosting with his USA Network show, “Everything on The Menu with Braun Strowman.” Shortly after showcasing his updated physique, Strowman officially announced his retirement from professional wrestling via social media, stating, “I’m retired lol.
