Big, bad Braun Strowman—yes, the human freight train himself—might have just derailed, folks! During an epic showdown on Monday’s WWE Raw, Strowman went toe-to-toe with Bronson Reed in a Last Monster Standing match. And let me tell you, it was as wild as you’d expect. Think Godzilla vs. King Kong but with more chairs, more groans, and less city destruction. But here’s the twist: Braun got the victory, but it may have cost him dearly. Sources are buzzing, and it looks like our giant buddy has legitimately hurt himself. Folks, when you’re built like a mountain and land wrong, the mountain shakes.
According to Bryan Alvarez from the Wrestling Observer, the big guy tore something—possibly his groin—right after a Samoan Drop from Reed. Alvarez broke it down, saying, “Braun grabbed his thigh/groin area” (which, to be fair, is a place nobody wants to be grabbing mid-match). But instead of the usual show-off speed, Braun was apparently “limping the ropes,” a sight rarely seen unless someone’s seriously in pain. After knocking Reed off the apron (good ol’ fashioned chair smashing involved), Strowman just laid there in the corner while the ref did more signaling than an air traffic controller.
They say it could be a groin tear—bad news, folks, especially when you’re built like Strowman. We don’t have an official update yet, but Monday night wasn’t looking good for the Monster Among Men.
And in a twist of fate that only WWE could script, Seth Rollins—recently wrecked by Reed—came in for some poetic justice. Rollins delivered a brutal Stomp on the steel steps, adding an exclamation point to the match. This is the same Rollins who’d been written off TV for nearly two months after Reed’s rampage, but he sure made his presence felt!
As for Strowman? Let’s not forget, the man just came back from neck surgery earlier this year, so if he’s benched again, it’s going to feel like a revolving door of injury rehab for the Monster. And let’s face it, folks—nobody wants to see a monster with crutches.
