It might seem strange that Braun is on this list, at least as one of the potentially fired wrestlers.

This is because he just participated in the Crown Jewel event, where he made an unsuccessful bid despite a titanic struggle to defeat the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar. He was also the 'Monster in the Bank' having won the titular PPV event Money in the Bank to capture the briefcase which contains a guaranteed, signed sealed and delivered contract for a WWE world title shot which can be cashed in at any time.

So why is Stroman on the chopping block?

Why he might be fired by the end of 2019: Braun Strowman is someone the WWE has been very high on, as he is a huge man who can move quite well for his size, giving comparisons to the Undertaker. However, WWE doesn't see wrestling as a job, but rather as a lifestyle. The long hours on the road, fourteen hour days at arenas, and meeting with the press are all considered par for the course.

Strowman reportedly has a bad habit of coming to work late, leaving early, and makes many faux pas backstage with veteran wrestlers. Despite his obvious qualifications, WWE doesn't want to put the title on someone who isn't dedicated. Then there's the matter of Braun's knees; his issues with them are what led to his abandoning a strong man career, and now it seems they are affecting his wrestling as well.
