Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Braun Strowman is scheduled to be out of action following tonight’s Raw taping to undergo a minor procedure to fix some issues with his elbow.


Sources tell us Strowman will be gone four to eight weeks due to the undisclosed injury/surgery, causing creative to re-tool plans for Extreme Rules and Great Balls of Fire.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Braun’s character on TV is supposedly suffering from a torn rotator cuff — even though he’s been wrestling Roman Reigns in street fights on the UK/European tour — and his injury angle was furthered at the TV taping tonight to officially give him time to get fixed up.

Strowman came out in a sling to wrestle Kalisto, but Reigns quickly interrupted. The segment ended with Roman hitting Braun’s arm with a steel chair on the steps.

Update May 15th:

Braun Strowman underwent surgery following the attack by Roman Reigns last Monday on Raw, WWE.com can now confirm.

Immediately after the assault on Strowman’s injured shoulder and elbow by the former WWE Champion, The Monster Among Men left Raw in an ambulance and was able to get back to the United States for an evaluation this past Wednesday. Following the medical consultation, Strowman underwent surgery on Thursday in Birmingham, Ala. with Dr. Jeffrey Dugas. During the procedure, it was revealed, among his other injuries, that Strowman's elbow had been shattered, and he is expected to miss up to six months of action as a result.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

He's been one of the few bright spots on Raw. I hope he recovers well.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

No, we weren't finished with Braun yet!

[JCBaggee]

Gotta fix him up now so he can make that young up and comer Brock Lesnar look good for Roman Reigns.

I hope we get rehab injury training vignettes that involves Braun flipping over ambulances, throwing stretchers, bending bed pans with his hands, singing Happy Birthday to sick children and the elderly, him carrying a wheel chair patient up a bunch of stairs when the elevator is down, him ripping apart ribbons in ribbon cutting ceremonies, etc with Creed's "My Sacrifice" playing.

[Rican]

Why can't we have nice things?!

[wwefan71080]

Probably injured during that dumb segment after Payback with the ambulance door

That's just the ambulance getting revenge😄

GOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE!!!

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Aww dang. Dude's been one of the highlights of WWE in the last few months.

Be interesting to see what they have Reigns do now. For better or worse, he's still one of their top guys but now he has no storyline for four to eight weeks. May as well just work enhancement matches against Curt Hawkins.

Meltz on Twitter is denying that Braun is missing any wrestling.

I hope when he returns he runs into hard things slower.

Ok, let's go with the notion this is true and he's not missing much due to injury.

The hell is the logic of the bigger less injured dude running away from the presumed much more injured after being beaten up savagely in a match dude?

I know, I know, Roman Reigns, but still.

Me right now at this news

So their angle to get Roman Reigns cheered is him taking out yet another Beloved entity in wrestling

Good work!

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Still trying to get over the fact that "This will require a restructure of plans for Great Balls of Fire" is supposed to be a serious statement...

Good work!

I have to imagine that at least half of the creative team does, in fact, know what they're doing. So there must have been more than a few people going "YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR TOP BABYFACE ATTACK AN ALREADY HURT MAN IN THE MIDDLE OF A MATCH AND INJURE THEM SO BADLY THEY MISS THE PPV FANS HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT TICKETS FOR!"

You have injured Braun destroy somebody so horribly that the GM has no choice but to suspend him.

It's like Vince saw all those threads about how John Cena was the worst face ever and just went "hold my snow-cone".

Liked for the 'hold my sno cone' bit.

That's reasonable, but there's also the fact that Strowman has essentially been trying to end Reigns's career, to the point where he could very well be trying to kill him in the process. At what point is Reigns allowed to colour outside the lines a bit to try and get revenge? Why does he have to get held to this boy scout level of babyface standards and morals of "beating him in a match will be enough for me" when the other guy is throwing him body first into concrete while strapped to a stretcher and tipping over an ambulance with him in it?

Because that's what makes a face a face. It's why you don't see Batman kill the Joker. Or why Spider-Man never went and knee-capped Norman Osborn during one of his bouts with amnesia.

It'd be different if the company had plans to book Roman as a tweener or something like that, but they won't. They'll just say "Even though Roman did the same brutal things we lambasted Strowman for, it's okay, because HE'S the good guy!"

[Rabbito Garcia]

Allll of that. If he's the golden boy, he can't lower himself to Braun's standards.
