Baron Corbin's attack on Braun Strowman during Monday night's episode of RAW was a way of writing him off television so he can undergo surgery for bone spurs in his elbow. WWE, however, is running with the story that he suffered a "shattered elbow" during that beatdown and the company has now provided an injury update in which they speculate about the possibility of him returning for TLC.
Braun Strowman will be undergoing surgery on his shattered elbow, WWE.com has learned.
The injury to his elbow was the result of a brutal attack at the hands of Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre & Bobby Lashley on Monday Night Raw. Strowman is currently scheduled to face Corbin in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match at WWE TLC on Sunday, Dec. 16.
Will The Monster Among Men be fully healed in time compete against Corbin in just four short weeks? Stick with WWE.com and social media for updates on Braun Strowman’s status as they become available.
It definitely sounds like WWE is anticipating Strowman being back in time which explains why they made such a big deal out of hyping the match between him and Corbin at the PPV, not to mention the Monster Among Men's upcoming battle with Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. As always, we'll be sure to keep you updated but be sure to stay tuned as things should become clear very soon.
