Is it kind of weird to anyone else that he requires this procedure? Granted, I haven't watched a lot of his stuff, but he doesn't seem to regularly take the kind of bumps that usually lead to neck problems like this, and he's been wrestling for less than 10 years with quite a hiatus in there.

His neck was under a lot of strain from how hard he was controlling his narrative

Edit: But really, that's bad and it likely shows why a giant should do as little as possible.

Braun's a bit of a meathead that puts his own foot in his mouth, but I wish him a swift recovery. This is a very serious thing, sometimes it can end or drastically shorten a career, I know Roode just had to have two back to back

Hope everything works out ok for him

[Ben Wyatt]

He's had his moments of jackassery, but you don't wanna see someone's career shortened/ended, or worse, life effected by injury. Here's to hoping it goes well

Braun is pretty active in the ring so I’m sure that he’s getting whiplash just like the little guys.  Big guys that can get away with being Kevin Nash levels of “lazy” should definitely be taking advantage though.

Is this the same surgery steve austin and edge had?

[lildude8218]

I would have to assume that they gave him a scan for his concussion and probably noticed the fractures in his spine. It's possibly an older injury that went unnoticed. There also was probably a lack of nerve injury as any kind of nerve injury in those areas would be fairly noticeable as they control sensation to the neck, shoulders, and upper arms down to the elbow. C5 specifically controls the deltoid muscles as well.

Braun played football and was a strongman before he got into wrestling which is a major strain on the body including the neck. So it could have just been one bump that eventually became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Yeah, and he is still landing on his back.

You really aren't supposed to be falling down constantly... and he has a lot of weight going down.

Sucks to hear.  I actually thought he and Ricochet worked well together.

Hoping for a full recovery.

[Killah Ray]

As someone who had their C3/C4 fused back in November, I don’t wish that shit on anyone…

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I hope he's OK. This is a good reminder that this stuff could happen to anybody of any size - it's an intense business. Hoping he makes a full recovery - I think getting this surgery at 39 is rough. If he chooses to call it a day, I don't think anybody would blame him, and he's had a good run.

[sdoyle7798]

Is it routine to not have a neck brace on after that surgery?

I mean I know they’re going to want to look at the wound and do some follow up stuff, but I just thought he’d have a brace on at all times besides those. I’m sure once he’s discharged he’ll have to wear one for a bit.

Maybe I’m naive though.

[JasonVoorhees1988]

Braun should totally be a bigger deal than he actually is. WWE had lightening in a bottle with him and they damn near squandered it.

I was actually hoping he'd get a shot at Roman, there's a built in story of him almost always having Romans number.

Hope you recover big guy.

Same I wasn’t too happy when they were paired up but I thought it worked well and was the most I had enjoyed Braun in a long time. I hope his recovery goes well.

[bob]

damn....

best recovery to Strowman

[A Little Doo Doo]

Damn, that sucks. His real life idiocy aside, his return has been really good.
