Why did they release Braun Strowman?

According to the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, WWE released Braun Strowman because of the feeling that he was “two years past his peak.” The additions of giants such as Omos (221cm), Shanky (216cm), and Commander Azeez (206cm) to WWE's main roster also reportedly contributed to the release of Strowman (203cm).
