When asked about his in-ring status on Going Ringside, Strowman revealed that he was just on a hiatus right now and enjoying life outside the squared circle.

Iâ€m taking a break right now. These (hands) are always ready if anybody wants them, but right now, Iâ€m enjoying taking a little break, getting my body healed back up as normal as I can, and experiencing some other things that life has to experience,” he disclosed.

The Monster Among Men added that he enjoyed his time in the Stamford-based promotion but maintained that he’s enjoying his post-wrestling life.

I loved my time with WWE, but it took up every bit of my time. Now Iâ€m having some opportunities to get out and do some other stuff, see some other things. Iâ€ve made some ventures, I have a tequila brand now, Quintaliza, weâ€re working on that, so just living life and having fun,” Strowman remarked.
