Braun Strowman claims theres no problem with Paul Heymanbut based on his new interview and the paper trail on X/Twitter, it sure doesnt sound like the full story.
On the October 21, 2025 episode of TMZ Inside the Ring, Strowman finally addressed his online back-and-forth with Heyman, but his explanation directly contradicts what actually happened.
Except Strowman did mention Heyman. On October 7, he posted an old clip of himself destroying Roman Reigns in 2017complete with ambulance footage and stretcher shotsto clap back at Heymans recent RAW claim that Reigns has never been beaten so badly he had to be stretchered out. Braun didnt stop there. He added a direct insult aimed at Heymans appearance:
The Penguin reference wasnt subtle, and it didnt go unanswered. On October 8, Heyman responded with pure venom masked in faux-respect.
Rather than fire back with more insults, Strowman flipped the moment into a PR opportunity. On October 9, he responded:
He attached a promo for his upcoming USA Network show Everything On The Menu, using Heymans sarcasm to shine a spotlight on his brand. But back to the interview. Strowman insisted it was all misinterpreted and that he never even meant to stir anything up.
Still, claiming he never acknowledged Paul just doesnt line up with whats been posted. The original Cobblepot tweet, the callback to their 2017 feud, and the subsequent shade from Heyman suggest Braun knew exactly what he was doing. If anything, Strowmans version of events looks like strategic backpedalingplaying it cool while continuing to get his name out there and promote his new show.
Is Braun Strowman trying to play innocent while stirring the pot? Drop your take in the comments and tell us what you really think.
