WWE’s Braun Strowman suffered knee injury
Additional notes by Bryan Rose
Braun Strowman is confirmed as having a knee injury.
Strowman was written out of the show Monday, attacking official Adam Pearce and being indefinitely suspended as a result. Tomorrow’s A.J. Styles vs. Keith Lee vs. Riddle match is likely to determine who Drew McIntyre faces at TLC on 12/20. McIntyre vs. Strowman was the original plan for the show and the angle to take him out of it was to cover for the injury.
Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens is the other main event. Their feud started on SmackDown on Friday after Owens attacked Jey Uso in the main event, calling out Reigns after.
There are several other matches that have been built on TV recently, such as Street Profits vs. Dolph Ziggler & Bobby Roode, Sami Zayn vs. Big E, Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler vs. Asuka & Lana, and Randy Orton vs. The Fiend Bray Wyatt.
All of the bouts are scheduled, but it’s not a lock which ones past the top two are on the PPV and which ones will be for TV.
