#2 Reason why Paul Heyman 'passed on' Braun Strowman in WWE

Talking about Paul Heyman's role as RAW Executive Director in WWE, Fighful Select also noted that he was in favour of making new stars and 'passed on' established wrestlers like Braun Strowman.

They state that he wanted a roster full of younger and less established Superstars hence letting go of Braun Strowman, who was sent to SmackDown. Here is what Cagesideseats stated:

A new Fightful Select report on Paul Heyman’s time as Raw Executive Director says he designed the post-2019 Draft roster with an emphasis on more polished, underutilized workers. He even passed on established names like Braun Strowman for that reason.

Braun Strowman became the Universal Champion while part of the SmackDown roster but Heyman could not manage to make Superstars such as Aleister Black, Andrade, or Garza big Superstars. Now The Monster Among Men has been drafted to RAW.

It will be interesting to see what happens next with Braun Strowman in WWE after he has become a member of the RAW roster.
