Having a moment at the grandest stage of them all is a dream of every WWE superstar. One would have to go through immense dedication to earn a match at WrestleMania, and only the biggest behemoths get to headline it. Ask CM Punk, despite being a topmost superstar he was never able to main event WrestleMania before the Night 1 of the 41st edition of the showpiece event. It would not be an understatement to place WrestleMania in parallel space with the Super Bowl and the Grammys. It is the biggest night of wrestling after all.
With all the glory and glitter associated with the event, there comes a stark reality that superstars have to make peace with, and it is that the event does not have a place for all the Superstars. Only the finest and ones who have some momentum behind it through an interesting buildup get to be at the show of shows. However, there do occur some rare cases, to give relevance to the theory, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry got his limelight at WrestleMania 41.

While Joe Hendry made it to the forefront by coming in as a surprise opponent against Randy Orton at the event, the massive reception he got made his appearance a classic WrestleMania moment to cheer about. Howbeit, not everyone gets as lucky as Joe Hendry. Paul Heyman, who played a pivotal role in the Night 1 main event between Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns, reveals the name of the superstar who came crying at him for missing out on the opportunity to feature at Mania. Heyman being an outspoken advocate that he is, made him eat humble pie. The wrestler in focus is none other than the former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman.

Heyman divulged that he had to straight up tell him that "He Sucks", and that's the reason why was not on the WrestleMania card. Paul also made it known that the Monster Among Men took the criticism on his chin and he is "rolling with the punches."
Once a big deal in the company, Strowman lost his push owing to regular injuries. He rarely shows up at the weekly shows now, and his last notable feud was against Jacob Fatu, which he lost.
