Last week on WWE Raw, Baron Corbin crushed Braun Strowman’s arm with the steel ring steps, and it was later reported that Strowman was dealing with bone spurs in his elbow.
Prior to the brutal beating that Corbin delivered to Strowman, Stephanie McMahon booked Strowman vs. Corbin for TLC.
The stipulation for the match is that if Corbin wins he’ll become Raw General Manager permanently, and if Braun picks up a victory then he’ll earn the right to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. However, it’s unclear if Braun will be able to participate in the match at this point.
WrestleVotes is reporting that the Monster Among Men may not make it to TLC and the backup plan is to make the TLC match involving Baron Corbin a multi-man match.
Hearing Braun Strowman may indeed be out past the TLC PPV, and they are preparing to make the TLC match involving Baron Corbin a multi man contest similar to the 2012 TLC PPV.
