WWE Says Braun Strowman Will Be Out for up to Six Months

WWE.com announced that Braun Strowman underwent surgery on his elbow on Thursday and will be out for “up to six months.” Damn…

Braun Strowman undergoes elbow surgery

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.

It was originally expected that he would be undergoing minor elbow surgery and would miss about 1-2 months, so this is surprising news (if true). The article is written in total storyline mode, blaming the injury on Roman Reigns, and WWE did previously falsely claim that Strowman had a “torn rotator cuff,” so there is a chance the six months could be a storyline also.

Pro Wrestling Sheet, which originally broke the Strowman injury story last week, is claiming that he will still only be out for 4-8 weeks…

to be more straightforward – fear not my friends, I have it on good intel that he is still only projected for 4 to 8 weeks for recovery. https://t.co/Ea3EJM6F7w
