As noted before, Braun Strowman has been out of action for WWE since this past May due to an unknown injury. Strowman was seen earlier this week in Birmingham, Alabama, which is the usual location that WWE talent visit when they need to undergo surgery or medical checkups.
Strowman provided an injury update earlier today on Instagram stating that he had recently underwent neck fusion surgery. Strowman stated that this fusion surgery was for his C4 and C5 vertebrae and had taken place at the Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham.
Road to recovery starts now!!!! Level one #fusion on my c4/c5 #vertebrae was in the great hands of #DrCordover at @andrews_sports_medicine was a great experience considering. Thank you to @wwe for always taking the up most care of us. This was very scary to find out about having to have done and they were there every step of the way reassuring that I was going to have the best care possible. This will take a little bit of time to heal from. But I assure you ( in the words of the #Terminator ) I’ll be back!!!! Thank you all in advance for the well wishes.
Much Love
Adam Scherr
