What’s the story?
Braun Strowman issued a statement regarding his surgery on his official Instagram account. The Monster Among Men addressed his elbow injury and surgical procedure whilst reassuring fans that he will not let this incident slow him down.
In case you didn’t know...
Strowman (Adam Scherr) began training for the sport of professional wrestling relatively late in his life, however, the 33-year old has quickly risen to prominence in the WWE since making his main roster debut as a new member of the Wyatt Family in 2015.
He gained notoriety as a singles competitor last year and is now considered one of the top stars of WWE’s flagship show Monday Night RAW.
The heart of the matter
Braun Strowman was most recently involved in a feud with Roman Reigns whom he defeated at WWE Payback a few days ago. However, the Monster Among Men and the Big Dog didn’t come out unscathed from their battle as both men suffered visible bruises following their match.
Strowman would come out worse off as he reportedly suffered an elbow injury that was later diagnosed to be much serious than what initially appeared. The former Wyatt Family member underwent surgery in Birmingham, Alabama and has now taken to social media to address his injury and surgical procedure.
What’s next?
The WWE has revealed on its official website that Braun Strowman could be out of action for at least 6 months following his surgery.
Author’s Take
For a man who has been practising his art for barely 3 years, Braun Strowman has shown incredible maturity in his ring-craft as of late.
His elbow injury is truly unfortunate and we, as fans, can do nothing more than pray for the talented powerhouse to make a quick and speedy recovery.
