Braun Strowman Shares Health Update Following Neck Surgery

Braun Strowman WWE

Braun Strowman is back on the road to recovery after undergoing neck surgery less than a month ago.

The former Universal Champion suffered a concussion in late April before returning to action. However, following the WWE Draft he only appeared on Raw once alongside tag team partner Ricochet before being placed on the injured list.

It was first reported by Mike Johnson of PWInsider on May 30th that the star had suffered an injury, and Strowman then revealed that he had undergone neck surgery. The former Wyatt Family member described the procedure as scary, explaining that the surgery was to fuse his C4 and C5 vertebrae.

In a fresh update on social media, Strowman revealed that he’s been cleared to start lightweight training again as he steps up his recovery.

Just got the green light to start light weight training again!!!! Time to rebuild the #Monster

Braun Strowman Returned To WWE In September

Strowman initially signed with WWE in 2013 and joined up with Bray Wyatt two years later. The star later headed out on his own and won the Universal Title, as well as a whole host of other accolades.

However, Strowman was released by the company in June 2021 which saw him head out onto the independent scene, featuring with the controversial Control Your Narrative promotion.

Braun Strowman returned to WWE in September 2022 looking leaner and stronger than ever. Although, his second run with the company stumbled initially, a partnership with Ricochet significantly improved his fortunes.

The pair are yet to taste tag team gold, but their unlikely partnership has proved to be a big hit with live crowds and has given both men regular spots on SmackDown and then Raw.
