Braun Strowman was reportedly “hurt worse than people realized” at the end of his WWE run

Last week, it was announced that multiple wrestlers were parting ways with WWE including Braun Strowman. While Strowman’s salary was said to have been a factor in his release, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com also noted that Strowman “had not been moving well in the ring since coming back from a major hamstring injury and one person there noted to us that he was hurt worse than people realized.”

Prior to his departure, Strowman spoke to Miles Addy about his various injuries from wrestling…

“Before I even debuted on TV, I ruptured my L5S1, which paralyzed my left leg 100%. Had emergency surgery, I got 85% of it back, so my entire career, I’ve wrestled with a 15% paralyzed left leg from my low back. I’ve had elbow surgery twice. My teeth are fake. All these scars when I went through the windshield in the Wyatt Family Swamp fight. I broke my neck, have a metal plate four screws in my neck. I tore my groin two minutes into the Last Man Standing match with Bronson Reed, went 20 more minutes with a torn groin. They all suck, but it’s part of the game.” (quote courtesy of Sportskeeda.com)
