He's Back: 40 Year Old Former WWE World Champion Wrestles First Match In Over A Year

Homecoming. There are very few positives to a wrestler getting injured, as it can put them out of the ring for any length of time. Injuries can come in all kinds of forms, some of which mean a wrestler is going to be on the shelf for a rather good while. That has been the case with a former WWE World Champion, but now we have gotten to one of the few positives, as he is back in the ring.

Braun Strowman wrestled his first match in over a year this week, defeating Shinsuke Nakamura in a dark match after SmackDown. Strowman made his return to WWE TV earlier this month during the WWE Draft, where he was drafted to Monday Night Raw. It is not clear when he will have his first televised match back. Strowman has been out of action for over a year following neck surgery.

He’s quite the force. Check out what Strowman can do:

Opinion: That is great to see, as Strowman has been out of action for a very long time due to his injury. I’m not sure what he is going to do next, but at the end of the day, what matters the most is that he is back in some way. Strowman is someone who can be inserted into a variety of spots on the card and now he is going to be able to show what he can do again after a lengthy absence.
