WWE’s original plan was for Shinsuke Nakamura to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Braun Strowman at TLC this Sunday, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.
WWE planned on shooting an angle that would have set up the match this past Friday on SmackDown, but Braun wasn’t able to be at the show because he’s dealing with back spasms.
The injury isn’t said to be serious though and it’s still possible that WWE will do the angle on this Friday’s SmackDown to set up the match.
