WWE Starrcade 2019: 5 Reasons why Vince McMahon won't allow Braun Strowman to beat The Fiend for the Universal Championship
WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt is set to defend his Universal Championship against Braun Strowman at Starrcade 2019. Despite his ongoing feud with Daniel Bryan, The Fiend will lock horns with the ‘Monster Among Men’ in a Steel Cage match with his title on the line.
While The Fiend’s upcoming encounter with the former member of the Wyatt family is exciting, it’s not difficult to predict the result of this match. With the limited build-up to their upcoming battle, it is safe to assume that the title will not change hands on Sunday night.
Owing to the recent booking of both these Superstars on the Blue brand, it is highly unlikely for Vince McMahon to allow Strowman to defeat The Fiend for the Universal Championship this weekend. In this article, we will take a look at five compelling reasons why the title won’t change hands at Starrcade 2019.

#5 Braun Strowman’s recent run has been average
Braun Strowman’s recent run on the roster has not seen him being involved in any compelling storylines. In the last three months, we have seen the ‘Monster Among Men’ challenge Seth Rollins for the Universal Title, engage in a brief feud with Boxing legend Tyson Fury, and represent Team SmackDown at Survivor Series 2019.
These three segments eventually saw Strowman coming up short in the final battle against ‘The Architect’, being knocked out at Crown Jewel 2019, once again, being counter out during the traditional 5-on-5 Men’s Elimination Match at the battle of brand supremacy.
Although Strowman makes for a good challenger for The Fiend’s Universal Championship, the latter is likely to retain as Vince McMahon has hardly seen Strowman being booked in any sort of compelling narration which could get the fans behind him. Moreover, there has been little to no build-up to this feud and their Steel Cage match appears to be a one-off encounter.
Hence, the Creative have no reason to have the ‘Monster Among Men’ defeat ‘The Fiend’ at Starrcade 2019 especially with WWE’s coveted prize on the line.
