Braun Strowman Announces He’s Dealing with Very Bad Flu & Lost 36 Pounds in a Week

Braun Strowman announced on Instagram that he is currently ill with a very bad flu and had lost 36 pounds in a week due to it. Strowman also stated that he currently expects to be out of action for at least another week due to his flu.

“We’ll see if people read what I post or not. Or just look at the cool pix. 2025 has been off to a ruff start for me. I picked up some kind of a bug last week and it had absolutely whipped my ass. I laid in a hotel room for four days three with a fever of 102 or higher for the first three days. A week later I am finally over what I think is the hump. My sever body aches are finally easing up. Today is the first day I have been able to move around and really do anything. I have lost 36lbs in this week. Had test taken and all they could determine is that it was a very bad Flu thankfully. I hate I have had to miss last weeks smackdown the premier of Raw on Netflix and I will miss tv again this week. This is yet another speed bump in the road. I will be back bigger stronger and badder than ever!!!

There hasn’t been anything this life has thrown at me that I haven’t been able to able to OVERCOME and this sure as hell isn’t gonna stop me in having one of my best years to date!!!!!

2025 your ass is mine!!!!”

Mark Henry Comments on Hulk Hogan Being Booed at WWE RAW Netflix Premiere Show

As noted before, this past Monday’s WWE RAW premiere show on Netflix in Inglewood, California was notable for WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan being loudly booed by the live crowd during his whole promo segment.

TMZ Sports held a recent interview with WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry. One of the topics discussed included Henry’s thoughts about Hogan getting booed on RAW’s premiere show on Netflix.

“He never wanted to go forward and fix it. That’s what happens when you think everything is gonna go away. It’s not gonna go away.

You know, I offered to say, ‘Hey, let’s do a tour of the Black colleges, law schools, and explain what happened.’ And he didn’t want to do that.”
