Why was Strowman 'injured' this week, ahead of WWE TLC?
#2 For Strowman to not get his revenge next week

It may be a while yet before Braun Strowman returns to action
Think of the Braun Strowman character for a second now. He's a man who topples trailers and can perform superhuman feats of sheer strength. Had he been at full health, there was no way he would have allowed Corbin to step into WWE TLC at full health!

By writing him off television, at least for a few weeks, there's no way Strowman gets his revenge on Corbin, ahead of the pay-per-view. Remember that he only restrained himself against Corbin before this because Stephanie McMahon asked him to behave until Survivor Series was done and dusted. There was nothing stopping him from taking his frustrations out on Corbin, since then.
When Strowman returns, presumably right ahead of TLC, the reception will be massive. Maybe WWE can even make an angle out of Strowman not being able to compete at the pay-per-view event.
