According to a report by Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Braun Strowman is set for elbow surgery this Monday in Birmingham, Alabama. As was made clear, he does have a legitimate elbow injury which was brought into storylines to enhance his feud with Baron Corbin and give him a possible out for taking an extensive amount of abuse at the TLC pay-per-view in their TLC match. The hope is that this is a minor injury and can be worked around quickly.
Strowman is currently slated to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at the 2019 Royal Rumble if he defeats Corbin at TLC. In the storyline, he’s said to have a ‘shattered elbow’ the hope is he’ll recover quickly and appear even more miraculous and superhuman. However, until they perform the surgery this week, they won’t have a clear-cut idea of what they’ll be able to plan for Braun.
