WWE news: Braun Strowman gets this NEW look ahead of TLC return
BRAUN STROWMAN has prepared for his WWE return at ‘TLC’ by taking a long overdue trip to the barbers.
Strowman shared video of himself getting his famous long hair cut and could reveal a new look when he makes his long-awaited return this Sunday.
Strowman is due to make his return to the coveted WWE event to face long-time rival Baron Corbin.
Corbin and Strowman’s history goes back to when the former cost the latter the WWE title by striking him in the back of the head with the belt before Strowman’s match with Brock Lesnar had even begun.
That all-important match happened at WWE’s Crown Jewell, a controversial PPV event in Saudi Arabia that WWE decided to go ahead with despite political tensions.
Since then, Strowman has had to undergo surgery for bone spurs in his elbow and was written off television with an attack by Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre.
The ‘Monster Among Men’, though, will have his chance to get his hands on Corbin when the two face-off this weekend.
Corbin’s under immense pressure to win the match from Stephanie McMahon, though.
McMahon has already announced that Corbin’s future with the company hangs in the balance and will be named permanent General Manager of RAW with a win.
He could, however, risk firing if he doesn’t come out on top.
There’s been fear within WWE’s backroom staff that Strowman may not be ready in time to face Corbin at the event and they reportedly have a plan in place just in case he doesn’t make it.
If Strowman is fit and can pull off victory, it’s likely he faces Brock Lesnar again at January’s historic Royal Rumble event.
Strowman has yet to win his first WWE title and has consistently found numerous obstacles in the way, with the likes of Lesnar and sidelined Roman Reigns pipping him in various matches.
THE 6ft 8 monster currently holds numerous records in in the WWE, including most eliminations in a single Elimination Chamber match, Royal Rumble match and classic Survivor Series match.
