Braun Strowman set for major appearance amid WWE hiatus

WWE Superstar Braun Strowman has been absent from television for over two months due to injury. Amid his ongoing hiatus, The Monster of All Monsters is set to make an appearance outside the Stamford-based company.

The former WWE Universal Champion's last televised match was against Bronson Reed on the September edition 30 of Monday Night RAW. The two big men squared off in a Last Monster Standing Match. Unfortunately, Strowman tore his groin while competing. Although the 41-year-old has not returned to television, he wrestled a dark match on November 15 after SmackDown.

While away from WWE programming, Braun Strowman is set to appear at the GLCW Blizzard Brawl event on December 7. He will be the special guest referee for a tag team match between The Newest Rockers (Kal Herro & Al Snow) and the team of Santino Marella & Damien Sandow. Strowman recently took to Instagram Stories to advertise the show.

"When the monster comes around!!!! Standing Room Only - $20 in advance or $25 at the door," he wrote.

Wrestling veteran predicts Braun Strowman could challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship

Braun Strowman's second stint with WWE has been marred with injuries. So much so that The Monster Among Men has not won any championship since his return in 2022. In fact, he hasn't held a title since losing the Universal Championship to The Fiend at SummerSlam 2020 in a Falls Count Anywhere Match.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing With Russo, former WWE Head Writer Vince Russo predicted that Braun could challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship, considering the wrestling promotion's recent booking decisions. He expressed frustration over how the creative team has been putting together title matches lately.

"Bro, he could be an opponent for Cody," Russo said. "I mean, that's the way they're booking now, bro. They're just throwing people in there. You could definitely get a pay-per-view match out of him and Cody." [7:38 – 7:55]

While Braun Strowman is away from WWE TV, Cody Rhodes is scheduled to defend his title against Kevin Owens at Saturday Night's Main Event. It remains to be seen which SmackDown Superstar will leave the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum with the Undisputed WWE Championship.
