Lars Sullivan
Yesterday, Lars Sullivan posted a video of himself working out at a gym, which was the first update on his status in months.
But his return to the ring is not imminent, according to Dave Meltzer, who says that he was told that Lars is still only about midway through his recuperation from knee surgery.
After undergoing the surgery in late June, Lars was expected to be out for 6-9 months. It’s been about 5.5 months now.
Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman missed WWE house shows this weekend because of back spasms, according to Dave Meltzer.
It’s not said to be serious though and he should be back in action in a few days.
