Brock Lesnar’s Schedule + Is Braun Strowman Really Injured?

Brock Lesnar’s Schedule

Brock Lesnar is currently scheduled to wrestle at the July 9 PPV, Great Balls of Fire, then at SummerSlam on August 20, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Rumors have been that Braun Strowman is expected to take on Lesnar after his feud with Roman Reigns, with the expectation being that Strowman will face Lesnar at the July PPV. As for the June 4 Extreme Rules PPV, it seems like Strowman and Reigns may end up having another match (though obviously nothing is confirmed yet), which will likely be some sort of gimmick match (like an “Ambulance Match”). If Strowman will be going on to face Lesnar, you have to think that WWE will still want Braun to look strong, but it also seems weird and unlikely to have him go over on Roman Reigns so many times in a row. WWE used a Roman Reigns injury angle to put Braun over at Payback without making Reigns look too weak, and a gimmick match with some sort of weird finish could allow them to do the same at the next PPV. Strowman and Reigns are also expected to go back to their feud later on, so if Strowman goes over this time, Reigns will probably get those wins back later.

Braun Really Injured?

Braun Strowman’s “torn rotator cuff” that was announced by Kurt Angle on Raw last night is likely just a storyline injury and there has been no indication that it’s legit as of now, according to PWInsider.

Roman Reigns’ injuries are also just a storyline.
