#2 Braun Strowman gets depushed to the midcard on the Raw roster

Braun Strowman will face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at Royal Rumble 2019

"The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman is scheduled to take on "The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. However, given the recent reports of WWE planning Lesnar vs Rollins for WrestleMania 35 for the Universal Championship a win for Strowman looks unlikely.

Strowman was high on momentum throughout the mid-2018, however, WWE lost the plot towards the end of the year. And given the reports of Lesnar carrying the title until WrestleMania 35, plus Rollins or McIntyre being the top contenders for it, Strowman might be depushed to the midcard for the time being.

It is arguably not that bad an idea given Strowman has lost all his momentum in the past couple of months and building him once again in the midcard would probably be a good idea for him.
