Braun Strowman out longer than expected...

[NoMorePie]

WWE just announced that Braun Strowman is expected to be out of action for up to six months after undergoing elbow surgery. It was originally believed he would be out of action for 4-6 weeks. As noted, Braun had been dealing with elbow issues and needed a minor procedure to correct them.

And they actually credited Roman Reigns for the injury

Braun Strowman undergoes elbow surgery

Braun Strowman underwent surgery following the attack by Roman Reigns last Monday on Raw, WWE.com can now confirm.

Immediately after the assault on Strowman's injured shoulder and elbow by the former WWE Champion, The Monster Among Men left Raw in an ambulance and was able to get back to the United States for an evaluation this past Wednesday. Following the medical consultation, Strowman underwent surgery on Thursday in Birmingham, Ala. with Dr. Jeffrey Dugas. During the procedure, it was revealed, among his other injuries, that Strowman's elbow had been shattered, and he is expected to miss up to six months of action as a result.

Check back with WWE.com and tune in to Raw tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network for more on this developing situation.

One of the only reasons to actually watch RAW out for 6 months?

 

[Thebadguy]

Hopefully he'll be back by Royal Rumble.

 

[Paper Boi]

gonna need brock vs joe then.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

How is Reigns at fault for this?

Damn was hoping he'd be back by Summerslam

Yeah, really wanted to see that Lesnar vs Strowman match but I wouldn't be mad if they pulled the trigger on Brock/Roman II for SummerSlam.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Move Rusev back to Raw

 

[mrken12]

Just give the title to Reigns at the next PPV.

Not a bad idea, they had a great match at WM. But then I guess they wouldn't go Reigns/Lesnar for 34

That is a shame, Braun had developed so well over the last 6 months, its like Night & Day from when he first made the main roster.

Continuity for the storyline, 6 month is about the shortest period of time someone is out with a torn rotator cuff. It's like THEY jinxed it, when bringing up what type of injury Braun suffered on Raw. at rotator cuff tear being a 4-6 week injury.

 

[AJtheOne]

Damn it

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Six fukking months

And once again, Vince realises that this wouldn't be an issue if he could push more than one person at a time.

In any case, Braun should be back just in time to destroy a whole team at Survivor Series dolo

 

[Cartier Murphy]

I thought the injury might've been a work

 

[Finn Baller]

are we sure this isn't a work?
