Braun Strowman‘s recent absence from WWE programming comes down to catching a very bad flu.
Strowman returned to the SmackDown brand on the December 13 episode of SmackDown. But he was noticeably absent from last week’s show and the premiere of RAW on Netflix.
The Monster Among Men took to Instagram to explain his absence and revealed he came down with a very bad flu which caused him to lose 36 pounds in a week.
“We’ll see if people read what I post or not. Or just look at the cool pix. 2025 has been off to a ruff start for me. I picked up some kind of a bug last week and it had absolutely whipped my ass. I laid in a hotel room for four days three with a fever of 102 or higher for the first three days. A week later I am finally over what I think is the hump.
“My severe body aches are finally easing up. Today is the first day I have been able to move around and really do anything. I have lost 36lbs in this week. Had test taken and all they could determine is that it was a very bad Flu thankfully. I hate I have had to miss last week’s smackdown the premiere of Raw on Netflix and I will miss tv again this week. This is yet another speed bump in the road. I will be back bigger stronger and badder than ever!!!
“There hasn’t been anything this life has thrown at me that I haven’t been able to able to OVERCOME and this sure as hell isn’t gonna stop me in having one of my best years to date!!!!! 2025 your ass is mine!!!! #GonnaTakeMoreThanThisToKeepMeDown,” Braun Strowman said in a post.
