Adam Scherr, formerly known as Braun Strowman in WWE, has provided a positive update following a scary medical situation. Scherr remains hospitalized due to a severe infection in his knee, but is expected to be discharged soon.
In a video posted to Instagram on his fourth day in the hospital, Scherr revealed that he underwent surgery to address the issue.
“All right, guys and girls, back again. Day four. So, just had surgery. I had an infection in my bursa around my patella in my knee, and it got out of control. So they went in this morning. They removed the bursa from my knee, drained a bunch of fluid out of it, and then left the wound open to continue to drain. It’s going to be a couple of days still, taking it easy. I think I gotta stay in here one more night and then I get to go home.”
Scherr described the intensity of the pain prior to the procedure but noted that he is finally finding relief.
“Still got a ways to go to get over this hump all the way with the infection and stuff, but the pain is finally starting to subside some. It doesn’t feel like my kneecap is going to explode off anymore.”
Scherr was released from his WWE contract in May 2025 but continues to host the USA Network series Everything on the Menu. He has not wrestled since his departure from the company. We wish him a speedy recovery.
