Braun Strowman remains entrenched as one of the top WWE superstars on SmackDown, even after dropping the WWE Universal Championship to Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam and failing to regain it at Payback on Sunday.
He has a new shaved head look and is primed to continue as one of the blue brand’s top heels. However, Strowman is opening up about an issue much more serious than his professional wrestling character.
On a recent episode of WWE Chronicle, Strowman revealed he contemplated taking his own life.
“I got to the point where I was on the verge of I had enough,” said Strowman h/t The Sun. “I kind of busted in on Vince one day in a meeting and I was like ‘I need to talk to you’ and he kicked everybody out of the production meeting and he sat down and talked to me.
“Not like boss to employee but like man to man, almost like a father son talk thing.”
Strowman, whose real name is Adam Scherr, explained had it not been for his relationship with Vince McMahon, he might not even be here.
“I’m very thankful to have a relationship with him like that because I might not even be here. I don’t even like talking about this out loud but I was thinking about killing myself a couple of times,” Strowman revealed. “That I got to that point, I should have talked to somebody sooner. I never knew how much he cared about me. I thought I was just a number in a system. That day he made me realize that I’m more important than a number I can’t thank him enough for doing that.”
