12. Top Raw Star Not Cleared To Return To In-Ring Action? 17 Wrestlers Confirmed For Upcoming Tournament

– “The Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman is being advertised for this Sunday’s WWE Raw Live Event in Springfield, Illinois. This would mean that Strowman has been cleared to return to in-ring action. PWInsider is reporting that Strowman has been cleared to return to in-ring action.

However, Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin had the following to say regarding Strowman’s return and PWInsider’s report: “Just read an incorrect report on Braun. While he IS close to coming back, my sources say Strowman has NOT been cleared for return yet.”

Strowman underwent elbow surgery and Raw General Manager Kurt Angle noted on Raw that Strowman will be out of action for 6 months, but that was just a statement to “work the marks” and Strowman will return a lot earlier than that.

Word going on is that he’ll return to WWE programming in mid-July. Strowman’s last PPV match was at Payback 2017, where he defeated “The Big Dog” Roman Reigns.
