Braun Strowman Returns to WWE SmackDown, Defeats Carmelo Hayes – Braun Strowman made his highly anticipated return to WWE on the December 13 episode of SmackDown, marking his first televised match in months.
In the lead-up to Friday’s show, WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis hinted that Carmelo Hayes would face a surprise opponent. Speculation ran wild among fans about the identity of the mystery superstar. When the moment arrived, the suspense was shattered as Braun Strowman made his entrance, officially announcing his return to WWE.
Carmelo Hayes brought his usual confidence to the ring, but the powerhouse Strowman proved too much to handle. The former Universal Champion used his unmatched strength to dominate Hayes and sealed the victory with a devastating powerslam.
Strowman had been sidelined since his grueling Last Monster Standing match against Bronson Reed on the September 30 episode of WWE RAW. During that bout, Strowman sustained a torn groin, forcing him out of action. Fans caught a glimpse of his recovery when he competed in a dark match at the November 15 SmackDown taping, but his official in-ring return on Friday confirmed that The Monster Among Men is back at full strength.
In a post-match development, Strowman agreed to appear on The Grayson Waller Effect during the December 20 episode of WWE SmackDown, which is being taped later tonight. Fans can look forward to hearing from Strowman as he discusses his return and what’s next in his WWE journey.
