Conflicting Reports On Braun Strowman’s Injury Status

Braun Strowman should be returning to action soon.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, the word backstage at Raw was that Strowman was cleared to resume wrestling last week and will be back as soon as the creative figures out a way to bring his character back.

Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, however, says the report is inaccurate. He said on Twitter that while Strowman is close to returning, he has not yet been been cleared to wrestle.

Just read an incorrect report on Braun. While he IS close to coming back, my sources say Strowman has NOT been cleared for return yet.

True. The report today said cleared to return and waiting for creative plans though, which isn't accurate.

Strowman underwent surgery in mid-May following WWE’s tour of European. At the time, WWE reported he had suffered a shattered elbow and would be out six months. That was likely stated in order to showcase Strowman making a huge superhuman comeback early.

Strowman, who has had great success as a singles star since the WWE brand split last summer, had been in the midst of a feud with Roman Reigns when he was injured and promised he wasn’t “finished with” Reigns yet.
