WWE Starrcade 2019: 5 Reasons why Vince McMahon won't allow Braun Strowman to beat The Fiend for the Universal Championship

#2 To keep Braun Strowman out of the title picture

As unfortunate as it may sound, Braun Strowman is often kept out of the title picture

WWE’s booking of Braun Strowman almost implies that they are uncertain with the direction in which the said Superstar is headed. We have often seen him being pushed into the title picture when there’s a lack of interesting Championship feuds but he never ends up capitalizing on that opportunity.

Going by history, the same thing will happen to him on Sunday evening when he will square off against The Fiend in the Steel Cage match. The two are expected to have a good match which will finally end in favor of the Champion.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

This battle between the two former members of Wyatt Family will indeed be interesting. We might have seen Strowman posing a serious threat to The Fiend’s title but the lack of build-up indicates that their match will not fetch a shocking result during the weekend.

WWE have almost always refrained from keeping Strowman in the title picture and unfortunately, that won’t change anytime soon.
