The in-ring future of Braun Strowman hangs in the balance as WrestleMania 40 draws near, leaving fans with uncertainties regarding his potential comeback.
The towering Monster Among Men has been sidelined for over nine months following a serious neck injury, necessitating level-one fusion surgery to address his C4 and C5 vertebrae.
Despite the setback, the 40-year-old Superstar has been steadfastly rehabilitating and has resumed rigorous training in the gym, sparking speculation about his imminent return to action.
Hints dropped by Strowman himself have fueled speculation among fans, prompting discussions about a potential WrestleMania appearance for the imposing figure.
With WrestleMania XL already facing setbacks due to injuries sidelining prominent names like CM Punk and Charlotte Flair, the return of Braun Strowman could inject a much-needed dose of star power into the marquee event set to unfold in Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, Rick Steiner’s son, Bron Breakker, finds himself lacking a compelling rivalry despite making a thunderous debut on SmackDown a few weeks ago. WWE might capitalize on this by pitting him against a returning Braun Strowman, creating a clash of titans at The Show of Shows this year.
If Triple H seeks to capitalize on Breakker’s potential, a match against a heel Strowman at WrestleMania could serve as a pivotal moment, symbolizing a passing of the torch from one generation to the next.
Such an encounter would undoubtedly elevate Breakker’s status early in his career, provided Strowman receives medical clearance to step back into the squared circle.
In a recent exclusive interview with Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, Strowman disclosed that he has resumed weight training but remained tight-lipped about his return timeline:
“So far, good. I just got recently cleared to fully start weight training and stuff like that. Still got a little bit of process left, but don’t worry, the Monster’s coming home soon… No date. You’ll know when I come back!”
Only time will unveil the precise moment of Strowman’s WWE comeback, but one thing remains clear: his forthcoming endeavors will be dedicated to honoring his late friend, Bray Wyatt.
