Braun Strowman has finally recovered from the injury that kept him out of TLC 2020, and he is back in the best physical shape of his career after returning to SmackDown. He returned to the blue brand, even though he is officially a RAW superstar.

In fact, he was rumored to be Drew McIntyre's WWE title opponent at TLC, but AJ Styles ended up taking that spot due to an injury for The Monster Among Men. On TV, it was Adam Pearce who handed Braun Strowman a suspension on RAW, meaning that it would make sense for him to come to SmackDown.

While we're not sure if Braun Strowman will be a SmackDown star going forward, one thing seems certain - he is entering the Royal Rumble match. While he will always be an odds on favorite, we highly doubt that he is winning the match.

We would have preferred if Braun Strowman returned directly as a surprise entrant in the Rumble rather than a return to SmackDown.
