Former Universal Champion Braun Strowman is gearing up for a heartfelt return to WWE, driven by a strong determination to honor the legacy of his late friend, Bray Wyatt.
Strowman, who last competed on the May 1st episode of Monday Night Raw alongside Ricochet, took an unexpected hiatus from WWE after undergoing neck surgery. Providing an update on his condition to News18, Strowman revealed that he has recently been medically cleared for the next phase of his recovery, marking a significant step toward his return.
The powerhouse detailed his surgery, explaining the insertion of a metal plate and four screws in his neck during a cervical fusion on his C4 and C5 vertebrae. While Strowman expressed his desire to potentially return at the Royal Rumble, he acknowledged uncertainty regarding the exact timing of his in-ring comeback.
Beyond the physical recovery, Strowman delved into the profound impact Bray Wyatt had on his life, both personally and professionally. Strowman, who made his main roster debut in 2015 as a member of the Wyatt Family, shared a close friendship with Wyatt, culminating in their on-screen rivalry over the Universal Title in 2020.
