WWE Star Injured After Wild Raw Match
WWE fans were treated to a wild main event on Monday Night Raw but it seems not everyone involved managed to escape unscathed.
After weeks of brawls between Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed both in and out of the ring, Adam Pearce making a ‘last monster standing’ match between the pair and on Raw in Evansville, Indiana all hell broke loose once again.
It wasn’t long before tables and chairs came into play as Strowman and Reed went to war. At one point after some fans were taken out when the barricade was crashed through, Reed put his hands on Adam Pearce and as security tried to split that up, Braun Strowman laid out everyone with a huge dive.
Strowman went to the top rope but was clocked with a chair by Reed who then delivered a huge superplex which led to the ring posts exploding and the ring collapsing – although perhaps not as much as when the spot has been done previously. As Bronson Reed was making his way to his feet, Seth Rollins made his shock return to Stomp the man that put him out of action which allowed Braun Strowman to win the bout.
WWE are believed to not be happy with one aspect of the match but it seems things could be even worse.
Braun Strowman Hurt After WWE Brawl
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez noted that there was a belief in WWE that Braun Strowman had torn his groin during the bout:
I did get it confirmed – if you watched the Raw show last night, the Last Monster Standing match. They went to a commercial break, and they came back, and Braun Strowman got hit by Bronson Reed with a Samoan Drop.
Braun Strowman grabbed his thigh/groin area, and then they were gonna do a spot where he knocked Bronson Reed off the apron through some chairs. (Strowman) starts running, and I knew immediately, this guy’s hurt. He normally can’t run all that fast, but he couldn’t even walk the ropes – he was limping the ropes.
He knocks (Reed) off the apron and there was a long period where he just kind of laid there in the corner and the ref’s furiously communicating with the back. He may have torn his groin is what it’s looking like. That’s certainly what they thought yesterday.
It remains to be seen how severe Strowman’s condition is and if it will keep him out of action in WWE for a significant amount of time.
