The hiatus stemmed from a neck injury that necessitated level-one fusion surgery on Strowman’s C4 and C5 vertebrae in June of the previous year.
Despite making an appearance in Bray Wyatt’s tribute show, the towering athlete refrained from entering the ring due to recovery requirements.
Throughout his rehabilitation journey, Strowman has kept fans abreast of his progress through social media.
In a recent update, he shared encouraging news about his physical condition, expressing contentment with his current weight of over 350 pounds and boasting a body fat percentage in the teens at the age of 40, notwithstanding two spinal surgeries and multiple other procedures over the past nine years.
Anticipation builds among supporters for Strowman’s imminent return to WWE programming.
His absence has left a noticeable void in televised events, particularly given his prominent stature in the wrestling world.
Prior to his hiatus, Strowman had formed a formidable tag team partnership with Ricochet, although the creative direction for his comeback remains uncertain.
As the RAW episode following WrestleMania XL is renowned for surprise comebacks, enthusiasts eagerly await any developments regarding Strowman’s potential return, though official confirmation remains elusive at present.
With fingers crossed, fans hope to witness the “Monster Among Men” reclaim his place in the WWE spotlight in the near future.
