Why WWE Isn’t Giving Braun Strowman A Universal Title Run

With Roman Reigns out of action, many people expected Braun Strowman to become WWE’s top face, but Brock Lesnar won the Universal Title at Crown Jewel and destroyed Braun Strowman in the process.

As of right now it’s not clear if Braun Strowman will be getting another title shot in the future and it seems that WWE officials are hesitant to put him in the top spot.

Mike Johnson recently discussed Braun Strowman’s status on PWInsider Elite Audio, and he noted that Braun Strowman has become his own worst enemy backstage (via Ringside News).

“One of the things I heard from multiple people and we’re talking 4 different people was that there are times where Strowman is negligent when it comes to showing up on time. He has a reputation at times for leaving a little early and sometimes makes mistakes in terms of etiquette in the backstage scene and the locker room and is sometimes as one person put it, ‘His own worst enemy’ and ‘His worst advocate.’”

“They will be high on him and just when he gets to the point where you would think the next step would be putting him into the centerpiece position for the company something happens and he makes some kind of misstep backstage and people within management kind of cool on him and they take a step back.”

For the sake of his career, hopefully Braun can correct the issues that are holding him back from reaching the top spot.

Until then we’ll just have to wait and see how things play out for the Monster Among Men.
