“Maybe Heâ€s Just Sensitive” – Paul Heyman’s Twitter ‘Rival’ Comments On Heated Exchange With The WWE Manager

Former WWE star Braun Strowman has finally spoken about his recent Twitter clash with Paul Heyman, suggesting the WWE manager might be overly sensitive or perhaps misses having him around. The Monster Among Men seemed confused about why Heyman came at him so strongly when he never directly addressed the veteran wrestling personality in the first place.​

Speaking on TMZ’s Inside the Ring, Strowman explained that

I keep getting this tweeting with Paul Heyman. I never even talked about Paul or acknowledged Paul. I donâ€t know why he got so upset and came at me… Especially because he gets to see my face every commercial break on SmackDown, and letâ€s be for real, if anybody knows about me having a show about ordering everything on the menu, you think Paul would know.

I have no idea (why Heyman wrote what he did about me). I guess I struck a nerve or something. I donâ€t know. I didnâ€t deliberately, intentionally mean to talk to him or any of that stuff. I donâ€t know whatâ€s going on, and maybe heâ€s just sensitive or something or maybe he misses me. Thatâ€s probably what it is. I think the ratings are struggling a little bit and they realize that when The Monsterâ€s on TV, he draws ratings so who knows?†(H/T: WrestlePurists)

Strowman also took a subtle shot at WWE’s current television performance, suggesting that the ratings are struggling a little bit, and they realize that when The Monster’s on TV, he draws ratings. The comment seemed to reference his absence from WWE programming since his departure from the company in May 2025.​

The Exchange Between Paul Heyman and Braun Strowman

The social media back-and-forth began after the October 6 edition of WWE RAW, when Heyman claimed during a segment that Bronson Reed was the only person who ever put Roman Reigns on a stretcher. This statement caught the attention of Strowman, who famously feuded with Reigns back in 2017 and had his own brutal moments with the Big Dog, including overturning an ambulance with Reigns inside.​

Strowman responded on Twitter by posting emojis and calling Heyman ‘Oswald Cobblepot,’ referencing the Penguin character from Batman. The jab was a clear shot at Heyman’s appearance and his revisionist history about Reigns never being stretchered out before.​

Paul Heyman didn’t let the comment slide and fired back with a brutal response on October 8. He wrote a sarcastic message saying he had nothing negative to say about Strowman, but added that he was actually relieved and celebratory to learn that Strowman was still alive, something most people didn’t realize and even fewer cared about. The cutting remark was classic Heyman, mixing fake politeness with a harsh dig at Strowman’s reduced visibility since leaving WWE.
