Braun Strowman revealed on the 10,000 NOs podcast that his WWE name originated from watching SportsCenter at the WWE Performance Center when the company needed a name immediately for trademark reasons. He got "Braun" from hearing about baseball player Ryan Braun (because it sounded like "brawny") and "Stoman" from Marcus Stroman, with Vince McMahon later adding the "R" to make it "Strowman" because he thought it made the wrestler sound more like a "showman."
Rusev posted a video on Twitter ahead of his match against Chad Gable on the June 15, 2026 episode of Monday Night RAW, calling Gable an Olympic failure who "let America down" and mocking his masked WWE run.

Braun Strowman revealed that he had to fight WWE for two weeks to get merchandise made for his "Get These Hands" catchphrase, despite it trending and becoming popular with fans.

Braun Strowman revealed that his famous "Get These Hands" catchphrase was created by accident during a live WWE RAW segment when Vince McMahon had a referee instruct him to cut an impromptu promo during a brawl with Rhyno. Strowman told Heath Slater "you can sit on this floor and shut up or you can get in this ring and get these hands like your partner," creating the phrase spontaneously without any prior planning. According to Strowman, the phrase immediately began trending worldwide after he returned backstage.

The event featured significant WWE crossover presence with Roman Reigns, Triple H, Nick Khan, and Shane McMahon in attendance, and Hokit had entered using a remix of Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme while wearing red, white, and blue.
Paul Walter Hauser criticized Roman Reigns over his White House appearance at UFC Freedom 250, questioning why Reigns has a limited WWE schedule while wrestlers like Darby Allin and Kenny Omega wrestle weekly without asking for acknowledgment.
