WWE has attempted to generate more interest for their upcoming matchup between Braun Strowman and Tyson Fury. A confrontation took place between the two heavyweights as Fury trained at the WWE Performance Center in preparation for his Crown Jewel match.
In a video uploaded to WWE’s YouTube channel, Fury practices a few collar and elbow lock-ups before running the ropes to deliver a shoulder tackle. However, during his training session ‘The Gypsy King’ would be blindsided by Strowman, who delivered a shoulder tackle of his own. The attack left Fury limping as he attempted to get up as he declined medical assistance.
WWE has since teased the following, “Will Fury be fully healed for WWE Crown Jewel or will the attack tip the scales in the direction of the mighty Strowman?”
The two are set to face off at the end of the month on October 31st at WWE Crown Jewel. The event takes place in the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This matchup will be Fury’s WWE debut.
