Braun Strowman has officially been cleared to return to action and should be back any week now, according to PWInsider.
Strowman underwent minor elbow surgery last month and has already been cleared to return. WWE announced a storyline injury of a “shattered elbow” and said that he would be out for “up to” 6 months, which was a way to make Strowman look “super human” when he returns months earlier.
Roman Reigns will make a “major announcement” about SummerSlam on next week’s Raw, so we’ll see if Strowman shows up to continue his feud with Reigns or if they hold off on his return until after Great Balls of Fire to set up the rumored match against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. Strowman vs. Lesnar has been the rumored plan, but there has been speculation that WWE could extend the Lesnar vs. Samoa Joe feud if it continues to get a lot of heat and they see the ratings increase as a result.
Update:
Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that his sources say that Strowman has not yet officially been cleared to return, but he is close.
Just read an incorrect report on Braun. While he IS close to coming back, my sources say Strowman has NOT been cleared for return yet.
