The ‘Monster Among Men’ Braun Strowman has been medically cleared to return and is expected back on WWE television over the next few weeks. The word going around backstage last night at RAW is that Strowman was cleared last week.
Strowman underwent elbow surgery last month. WWE while initial estimates pegged his recovery time at 4-6 weeks, WWE.com noted that Strowman would miss up to 6 months. WWE regularly exaggerates talent’s recovery timeframes, which enhances the performers’ perceived toughness when they return ‘ahead of schedule.’
It will be interesting to see how WWE positions Strowman when he returns. Prior to his injury, he was feuding with Roman Reigns and was rumored to be working with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
As noted earlier, next week’s RAW will feature an announcement from Roman Reigns regarding his plans for SummerSlam.
