10 WWE Superstars who were legitimately hurt in the ring  

#5 Braun Strowman

Strowman's elbows were damaged on RAW

In 2019, Braun Strowman was said to be working with a knee injury. Despite this, he continued to wrestle for several weeks before taking a break. While we don’t know the extent of his injury, Strowman was seen struggling in the ring multiple times. When he teamed up with Seth Rollins to face Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode at Clash of Champions, his face got busted open. During the match, Strowman hurt his knees even more after a top rope splash.

The year before that, Strowman suffered a shattered elbow following a beatdown from Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and the former RAW Acting General Manager, King Corbin. Although he did return a few weeks later to face Corbin at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC), he won the match and granted himself a Universal Championship shot against Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

If this wasn’t enough, Strowman nearly got knocked out during his match against Lesnar at Rumble 2018 when the current WWE Champion hit him hard to the head.
