WWE Rumor Roundup: Several main roster stars moving to NXT, Current champion was close to leaving and more – 22 August 2019

Braun Strowman was close to leaving

Imagine if Braun had left!

Braun Strowman has revealed that he had just one month left on his deal when he signed a new contract! The Monster Among Men was very close to leaving WWE as a deal between the two parties could not be struck for some time.

“I had a little over a month left on my contract and we just came to an agreement. I felt like both sides of the party were happy, and look forward to four more years of people getting these hands.”

Strowman is now the RAW Tag-Team champion with Seth Rollins and is likely to be facing him for the WWE Universal title soon. He has already set his sights on the top title and Rollins has also made it clear that he is willing to give him a shot at the title soon.

In the end, it looks like finding an agreement and signing the new contract is going to do a lot of good for Braun in WWE.
