#5 Braun Strowman
As Braun Strowman turned face again after a short run as a heel, he was faced with the threat of he heels piling on against him. In an angle on Raw on one episode, Strowman was attacked by Acting General Manager Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley.
As the three men tried to slay the Monster Among Men, they decided to target his elbow which had already been surgically repaired in the past.
As Strowman was held down, his extended arm was hit with a set of steel ring steps which was very hard to watch for many fans. Following the attack, we could see blood trickle down his arm while Strowman held his elbow in pain and exclaimed that he couldn’t feel his fingers.
It was an extremely concerning moment for fans as it seemed like he had suffered a bad injury following the angle, and even the commentators later announced that he had ‘shattered his elbow’.
Later it was revealed that the angle was used to right Strowman off television as he had to undergo elbow surgery for a legitimate injury which has gotten worse over the months. Nonetheless, the entire episode created a lot of talks and worry among fans until the actual news came out.
