Braun Strowman is currently recovering from his elbow injury suffered at the hands of Roman Reigns, last month. This feud is ongoing from the beginning of this year. At the Royal Rumble PPV, he caused The Big Dog his Universal Championship opportunity against Kevin Owens starting this one. Since then, they have been through some gruesome battles hurting each other.
The rivalry was planned as a long term one and it is likely to continue even after Strowman continues. Perhaps, WWE is eyeing to make this one the “Rivalry of the year”, for sure. The recent updates from the Mountain Among Men also points the same.
Braun Strowman (real name Adam Scherr) has recently posted a picture on his Instagram account with the catchline “I am not finished with you”. It was clearly indicated towards Reigns since we have heard telling it several times on Raw while attacking him.
Also, Strowman’s father delivered a bold statement towards the face of the company saying that he is frustrated with someone ruining the momentum of his son. Even he can finish the job in hand by attacking him. However, his son is getting healthy and will take care of it, as early as possible.
Now, from a creative perspective, Strowman is also due with a match against Brock Lesnar. Prior to his injury, he was supposed to face the beast for the Universal Championship at the Great Balls of Fire PPV in July. This match might be postponed for Summerslam.
So, it’s not quite clear at this time which feud will Strowman carry on upon return. There are chances of having matches with both Lesnar and Reigns at the biggest PPV of summer i.e. Summerslam.
Meanwhile, the veteran Jim Ross has said that he would love to see the Lesnar vs. Strowman match. It would be best for business for the WWE. He believes that none of the participants from the upcoming fatal-5-way match at Extreme Rules can pull off a great match the way Strowman will. Check out his comments:
“I’m a different cat though, man. I’d like to see Braun Strowman – in a big build-up – against Lesnar. I think that’d be a nice car crash”.
