Former WWE wrestler Braun Strowman announced Tuesday that he spent Monday night in the hospital. Strowman wrote on Instagram that he is dealing with an infection in his right knee. Check out his post below or via Instagram.
Powell’s POV: Strowman made some headlines recently due to his Everthing on the Menu show being renewed by USA Network. He has not wrestled since April 18, 2025. WWE released Strowman in a wave of roster cuts on May 9. Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery.

AND how do we know he had to visit the hospital? Well, because like most of todays self-absorbed OMG I’M SO IMPORTANT I NEED TO TELL EVERYONE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME AND WHAT I EAT FOR LUNCH” society, he of course posted it on social media BECAUSE OMG EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE I’M SO IMPORTANT!
Sad.
And you never would have known the specifics had you not read the story, so it must have been of some interest to you. Out of curiosity, Angry Mike, do you have a similar reaction when your favorite politician can’t stay off social media?
