When is Braun Strowman expected to make his WWE return? Exploring his future

Braun Strowman was involved in an entertaining and brutal feud with Bronson Reed on WWE RAW over the past few months. Their rivalry culminated a few weeks ago in a Last Monster Standing Match. Strowman emerged victorious on that occasion after Seth Rollins interfered, costing Bronson the win.

Unfortunately, Strowman suffered a groin injury during the match. This has kept him off TV for the last few shows. Fans have been eager to know when the Monster Among Men will make his in-ring return. The answer to this question depends on the severity of his injury.

If it’s not a complete tear, a groin injury typically takes two to three months to fully heal. Hence, Braun Strowman could potentially recover in time to make a surprise return at the 2025 Royal Rumble.

Former WWE writer believes Braun Strowman could be a viable challenger for Cody Rhodes

Braun Strowman's second run in WWE since his return in 2022 has been plagued by injuries. However, that should not overshadow the fact that the Monster Among Men still remains one of the strongest and most intimidating stars on the roster.

During a recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo, Vince Russo suggested that Strowman could be a viable challenger for Cody Rhodes and his Undisputed WWE Championship. He mentioned that such a match would be pay-per-view worthy.

"Bro, he could be an opponent for Cody. 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," Russo said.

Strowman and Rhodes being on different shows should not pose a problem, especially given how the Stamford-based company has recently pulled off high-profile matches like Gunther vs. Randy Orton and the upcoming Crown Jewel match between Gunther and Cody Rhodes.

WWE has shown they are willing to cross the brand boundaries for major storylines and matchups. Therefore, a potential showdown between the former Universal Champion and Rhodes could certainly be in the cards.
