Braun Strowman decided to start his own promotion alongside EC3, called ‘Control Your Narrative’, doing their first event as a traveling promotion in March 2022.
Upon Strowman’s return to WWE, EC3 announced that the vision for the promotion will remain the same, but there was no information regarding its future. The former WWE Universal champion revealed that he still owns the CYN promotion and is happy being back in WWE, during an interview with Shakiel Mahjouri.
The biggest thing was another avenue for people to go and do what they love [Strowman said about Control Your Narrative]. It was all financed by me and EC3. All the money that we ever made which wasn’t much, we put right back into the company. I was a firm believer in making sure if you wrestled on one of our shows that you got paid. Because this industry is so cutthroat. A lot of stuff with this ‘pay your dues’ B.S. that everybody wants to say and that ‘pay your dues’ is lining some promoter’s pocket on your hopes and dreams and broken back which I get it.
I mean, that’s ‘business’. But I wanted to give an avenue for people to do what they love, hone their craft, be able to make some money, travel around and have fun. At the end of the day, this should be the absolute most fun job you could ever have on earth. We get to travel around the world and fight with our friends and make money doing it and how could you not? It’s every five-year-old’s dream and it was just an opportunity to try and help others live theirs and unfortunately, like I said — it’s something that I still own, CYN.
EC3’s still doing some of ‘em so who knows what’s gonna happen down in the future but right now, I’m so blessed to be back home. I love the WWE, I love the WWE universe. I’ve said this time and time again, I’m a film believer that God put me on this earth to do this. I’m back where I belong, I’m home, it’s good to be back and I can’t wait to keep making memories for the fans for many more years.
