Braun Strowman Reportedly Not Cleared For In-Ring Competition

Braun Strowman has been out of action for weeks now following his elbow surgery, and it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing him get physical on Raw for a little while.

Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that the Monster Among Men still isn’t cleared for in-ring competition, and likely won’t be returning to the ring until the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

Strowman’s status is the reason why his segment with Lesnar went down the way it did this week on Raw.
