Does Braun Strowman work badly?

The decision to bribe Brock Lesnar to Jewel of the crown left a lot of fans shaking their heads and their fists at Vince McMahon and the WWE. The rise of Braun Strowman is something that many people have been investing in for two years now. Why, with Roman Reigns unfortunately no answer, who knows how long, would they return to Lesnar as a universal champion?

Well, Brock is a big name that has made Raw's top belt one of the UFC pay-per-view (PPV) television awards. But is there another reason?

A possibility was discussed on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio …

Bryan Alvarez: Remember when Gross was in Seattle, I mentioned that Braun looked like limping the ramp?

Dave Meltzer: Oh, I talked about it the other day. Braun's knees are affected.

Alvarez: He can not move. And all through this show, he had to chase the guys out.

Meltzer: I need to tell you something. It was a big mistake … He should not – they should know better than that … Braun Strowman, the second or third time he went out, while he was running, he could not – so the first time, when he tried to run, he was fine for a little while. I think it's maybe even hurt, but I knew that Jewel of the crownWhen he was walking on that ramp, I could see that it was like, "Oh my god, that guy's knee." And I'm sure the bump he pulled out of that F5 over the top rope up to 300 – Whatever the pounds that it weighs, 380 pounds, that's not a good idea.

But when he ran last time [on Raw]it was hardly a walk … do not book it in anything that requires movement, it's as if all the aura came out, that of the monster. He looked like one of those immobile guys. It's like it's not what you want to look like.

It's hard to say if this is based on information from any of The Observer's sources, or simply based on what we've all seen on TV. To go a little further, I revisited the last round of last night and the return of Braun on October 30th. Gross last year to chase the Miztourage from a garbage truck (the fight!).

Let me know what you think.

2018

He seems a little better chasing after Miz, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel, but not enough for me to pronounce a sentence on the current state of his lap.

Injury problems would help explain the Jewel of the crown reservation, however. If Strowman even has a chance of needing free time to undergo surgery or surgery, a few months with Brock as a champion before they discover this and / or build Drew McIntyre make more sense.

We will see how this will be played out and if something more definitive comes to us from Meltzer or from another point of sale.
