Welcome Back: Former WWE World Champion Set For First Televised Match In Over A Year

He’s back. There are all kinds of ways to bring a wrestler back from an injury hiatus, as you never know when you might see someone returning after a long time away. Occasionally the return will be announced in advanced to build up some interest in what is going on, and that is the path that WWE is taking with a returning Superstar. Now we know more about what to expect.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Uh Oh: Incoming WWE Star Injured, Plans May Have To Be Changed

Last month, Braun Strowman returned to WWE after nearly a year away due to neck surgery. Strowman has mainly focused on the Judgment Day stable but he has yet to return to the ring. WWE has officially announced that Strowman will be facing the team’s JD McDonagh in his first televised match in over a year next week on Monday Night Raw. Strowman did return to the ring earlier this month, defeating Shinsuke Nakamura in a dark match.

Strowman is quite the force. Check out what is returning to a WWE ring next week:

Opinion: This had to happen at some point and it is nice to have Strowman returning to the ring after such a long hiatus. Strowman is one of the more unique stars in WWE today and it would not be a shock to see him moved into a fairly high level spot rather quickly. WWE is putting Strowman in the ring with someone who can make him look good and that should be the case next week.

What do you think of the match? Who do you want to see Strowman face next? Let us know in the comments below.
