why was braun strowman released

Braun Strowman was released from WWE primarily due to financial reasons, specifically his high salary, which WWE felt was not justified by how he was being used in storylines. Additionally, ongoing injury problems and his physical condition after significant injuries played a role in the decision. His mobility and in-ring performance had been affected since a severe hamstring injury, and he missed a year of action due to neck fusion surgery among other injuries. These factors combined led WWE to let him go despite his popularity and past achievements.
