What's the story?
WWE's resident 'Monster Among Men' Braun Strowman has been out of action since November after being forced to undergo elbow surgery for bone spurs. WWE decided to write Strowman off television prior to his surgery by having then acting GM of RAW - Baron Corbin - orchestrate an attack on Strowman with the help of Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley.
Strowman vs Corbin was booked for WWE TLC but unfortunately, Strowman wasn't fit in time. However, with Corbin pissing off most of the locker room, Strowman had help at TLC from Gable, Roode, Crews, Slater, Finn Balor and WWE legend Kurt Angle who all helped rid Monday Night RAW of Corbin.
Strowman has been out for a while now and with a big title match coming for the giant at the Royal Rumble, we finally have an update on Strowman's condition.
