In checking with several additional sources this morning, my initial report about the Braun Strowman injury being a work was incorrect. I apologize for that and have amended the original story from this morning.
Strowman does have a legitimate elbow issue that may require surgery and will be getting it looked at this week. It is believed to be a minor issue and something WWE can work around leading into the WWE TLC PPV, but until they perform the surgery, they won't have 100% confirmation of that.
The storyline aspect of the injury being worked into the show, described on commentary as a "shattered elbow", was done to boost Baron Corbin's ability to work over Strowman when they face off as well as give him a big superhuman comeback early from a devastating injury.
Strowman is slated to face Corbin in a TLC match at the 12/16 WWE TLC PPV in San Jose. If Strowman wins, he earns a WWE Universal title bout at Champion Brock Lesnar at the 2019 Royal Rumble in Phoenix, Arizona.
