Braun Strowman is back on WWE television, returning during the December 13 episode of SmackDown. With about 15 minutes left in the first hour, Carmelo Hayes entered the ring for a match against “the newest member of the SmackDown roster.” To the crowd’s delight—and Hayes’ dismay—Braun Strowman’s music hit, and the Monster Among Monsters made his way to the ring.
The match didn’t last long, as Strowman delivered a dominant performance, securing a clean win with his signature powerslam. This marks Strowman’s first match since defeating Bronson Reed in a last monster standing match on September 30 RAW, a bout that left Strowman injured and out of action.
Carmelo Hayes had been angling to make an impression on SmackDown after confronting Nick Aldis on the December 6 episode. While Hayes got his opportunity, he didn’t get the outcome he wanted against the returning powerhouse.
Braun Strowman’s return injects fresh energy into the SmackDown roster, leaving fans eager to see what’s next for the Monster Among Monsters.
