Braun Strowman survived a brutal Last Monster Standing Match against Bronson Reed in the main event of Monday Night RAW, thanks to some help from a returning Seth Rollins. The Visionary showed up in the show's final moments and stomped Bronson Reed, getting revenge on the 36-year-old and helping the Monster of All Monsters claim the victory.

Braun Strowman appears to have sustained a severe injury that could keep him out for a significant time. According to wrestling insider Bryan Alvarez, the former world champion has sustained a torn groin following a Samoan Drop by Bronson Reed after a commercial break.

Alvarez also noted that it became apparent that Braun Strowman had sustained an injury when he tried to knock his opponent off the apron.

"[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," the wrestling insider said.

For now, there is no indication of how severe the injury is or how much time it will cost him. We should consider it a no-brainer that it will keep him out for the foreseeable future.

Braun Strowman reacts to victory over Bronson Reed on RAW

It seems that the feud between the two behemoths is over for now, following a brutal Last Monster Standing Match in the main event of the red brand.

The Monster of All Monsters stood tall and took to social media afterward to react to his big win.

"A moment frozen into history!!!!!!" Braun Strowman posted on his official account on Instagram.

Braun's injury would shift WWE's plans for the rivalry between the two monsters, but Seth Rollins' return simplifies things for the creative team. The latter has targeted Reed, seeking revenge after Bronson's brutal assault on August 5, which sidelined the former World Heavyweight Champion for a couple of months.

Thus, WWE is expected to take Braun off TV for a while to allow him to recover from the torn groin injury and then shift its attention to the Seth Rollins/Bronson Reed feud.
