Braun Strowman is back on WWE TV!
During the April 29th episode of WWE Raw, the conclusion of the WWE Darft took place. In round 2, United States Champion Logan Paul and YouTube star IShowSpeed announced the picks. In a surprising selection, Raw drafted Strowman, who has been out injured for nearly a year. Following the Draft picks, Paul made his way to the ring and mocked Jey Uso, who will challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash. Uso interrupted and declared he would win at the PLE before Finn Balor and JD McDonagh made their way to the ring.
With Uso outnumbered and beaten down, Paul went to NFL star Patrick Mahomes, who was sitting in the front row. Grabbing Mahone’s Super Bowl rings, Paul attempted to strike Uso but accidentally struck McDonagh instead. As the brawl continued, Strowman interrupted and stormed to the ring. Laying out Balor with a chokeslam, The Monster Among Men confronted Mahomes before being ushered away by Uso.
Braun Strowman Returns Following Neck Surgery
Last competing on the May 1st episode of Raw, Strowman required neck fusion surgery on his C4 and C5 vertebrae. Back in December 2023, Strowman said the following to The Hindustan Times:
I had a cervical fusion on my C4 and C5. So basically my head almost fell off and they had to take a metal plate and four screws to keep it from falling off.
I recently got cleared, a couple weeks ago to start weight training again but still no contact, no blows on the head, no bump stuff. WWE takes unbelievable care of the athletes like they did with me. They sent me to Dr. Cordover at the world famous Andrew’s medical center, Birmingham, Alabama. He’s the number one surgeon in the world for this procedure. So I felt really confident going in with that. He’s so happy with my recovery. I’m right on pace where we need to be. Unfortunately it’s a slow recovery when you’re talking bones fusing back together, so I’m at the mercy of that. But as soon as they give me the green light to go, I’m gonna get it. And you’ll know when I’m back.
