Former WWE star Braun Strowman hospitalized with infection
Adam Scherr (the former Braun Strowman) is currently in the hospital battling an infection.
On Tuesday, Scherr informed fans that he had spent the night in the hospital due to a knee infection that “came out of nowhere.” He shared a new update today letting everyone know that he’s still in the hospital waiting to find out answers. The pain from the infection is pretty bad, but Scherr is confident that everything is going to be okay.
“I just wanted to take a second to come on here and say thank you everybody that’s been reaching out and all the well wishes on my post about this infection,” he said. “I’m going on day two in here, still plumbed up to IVs, waiting on cultures to come back to find out exactly what it is. Pain’s pretty bad, but we’re still breathing. We’re still kicking. God’s got me, and I trust him and everything’s going to be okay. So it’s going to take a little bit to get over this hump, but y’all know me. Nothing keeps ‘The Monster’ down. So, again, thank you for all the well-wishes and thoughts and prayers and everything and everybody reaching out. It doesn’t go unnoticed. I love all of y’all very much. Thank you.”
Scherr, 42, currently stars in the USA Network food series “Everything on the Menu,” which has been picked up for an expanded second season after a successful first run of episodes. He has not wrestled anywhere since being released by WWE in May 2025.
