Despite his dedication to WWE, Strowman was released alongside a bevy of other talent, much to the chagrin of WWE fans ever since. And their feelings got even more complicated when it was revealed how much he actually went through.

"Before I even debuted on TV, I ruptured my L5S1, which paralyzed my left leg 100 percent," Strowman said. "Had emergency surgery, I got 85 percent of it back, so my entire career, I've wrestled with a 15 percent paralyzed left leg from my low back."
"I've had elbow surgery twice," Strowman continued. "My teeth are fake. All these scars when I went through the windshield in the Wyatt Family Swamp fight. I broke my neck, have a metal plate four screws in my neck.
"I tore my groin two minutes into the Last Man Standing match with Bronson Reed, went 20 more minutes with a torn groin. They all suck, but it's part of the game."

Now, having been released, it has been reported that Strowman is taking time to focus on what he wants to do next, whether it's working for another promotion or retiring from professional wrestling altogether.
No matter what he chooses, there is no doubt that Strowman has had an excellent career.
After working as a strongman, Strowman began training with WWE in 2013, appearing in dark matches. He eventually made his television debut as a member of The Wyatt Family Aug. 24, 2015.

Strowman also won Money in the Bank in 2018 and the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royale in 2019.

Bayley's teased WWE character change needs to get uncomfortable
WWE can't hold back with Bayley. It appears the once lovable hugger is about to experience another heel turn after her excellently crafted and raw promo on Monday that ended with a maniacal laugh. The Bayley character has undergone some rough sledding. Damage CTRL turned on her, she missed WrestleMania and a chance at tag team gold after a storyline attack by Becky Lynch, she lost another friend in Lyra Valkyria after failing to win the Women's Intercontinental championship and then inadvertently cost Valkyria her match against Lynch for the title at SummerSlam.

Toddler Holds Tiny Kitten for First Time, Mom Not Ready for What She Says
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For parents, capturing a child's "firsts" is a treasured memory. And one mom's impromptu video of her daughter meeting a kitten for the first time has become a viral sensation. Leah Fry, 29, was not ready for the adorable and loving words her toddler, Selah, would say in a moment that beautifully captured the child's deep and innocent affection. Since her Instagram reel of the moment was posted, it has received over 108,000 likes. The clip shows Fry's daughter Selah, a 1-year-old, holding a tiny black-and-white kitten with a look of pure wonder and delight. The young cat belongs to Selah's grandparents, Fry said, whom she calls "Papa and Ma Chickie." The family often visits to play with the kittens—and this particular day marked Selah's first time petting one.

From left: Leah Fry's Instagram reel shows her daughter, Selah, meeting a kitten for the first time. @leah__darlene/Instagram A Nurturing Nature Fry, who said she is always trying to "capture sweet moments of Selah," had a feeling this moment would be special. "I just happened to pull my phone out to record because it would be her first time petting a kitten and I knew she would love it," Fry said. "I was right, because she was absolutely overwhelmed with delight and fell in love." As Selah held the tiny kitten, she was overcome with affection and began to speak to it in her own special way. "She kept saying, 'My baby … meow meow,' as if she was trying to communicate how much she loved it and how adorable she thought it was," Fry said. The video ended with a cute toddler request as Selah tried to get the kitten to meow—a detail that highlights the innocence of the moment. Selah's love for the kitten is part of a larger passion for animals. "Selah has been obsessed with animals since Day One," she said. "Anything with fur is her friend." In addition to the kittens, Selah loves the family's horses and her pony, which she "wants to sit on and brush everyday." "She loves them all, and takes taking care of her animals very seriously," Fry added. A Future Animal Lover The viral clip is a beautiful testament to a child's natural and unconditional love for furry friends. After the sweet moment was captured on camera, Selah "just wanted to sit and hold the kitten, pet her and look at her like she was her own little baby," Fry said. The video of Selah and her "baby meow meow" has resonated with thousands as a heartwarming glimpse into a child's world—and a testament to the fact that Selah is, without a doubt, a future animal lover.
