Adam Scherr (Braun Strowman) Teases Possible Role as Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Franchise

Braun Strowman may no longer be terrorizing opponents inside a WWE ring, but he could soon be terrorizing movie audiences on the big screen. The former Universal Champion, real name Adam Scherr, has been branching out since leaving WWE, diving into acting and even launching his own travel show. His next project? A role in the upcoming horror sequel Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon.

But according to Scherr, that might just be the beginning of his journey into horror. In a recent interview with Collider, the powerhouse revealed that he’s been in early discussions about playing none other than Jason Voorhees—the legendary slasher who’s been haunting campgrounds and movie screens for nearly five decades.

“If we could ever get everybody to get back on the same page and allow the things to work, I might be the next Jason Voorhees,” Strowman said, even adding that he’d shave off his trademark beard for the opportunity.

While it’s not clear how far along those conversations are—or if they’re directly connected to the current Friday the 13th projects—Scherr made it clear he’s more than interested in picking up the iconic hockey mask.

The franchise has been dormant on the big screen since 2009, marking its longest hiatus in 45 years. However, the property is starting to stir again. Peacock has a prequel series, Crystal Lake, in development, which is said to explore Jason’s backstory through the perspective of his mother, Pamela Voorhees. A new feature film is also in the works, which could open the door for someone like Scherr to step into the role of adult Jason.

For wrestling fans, the thought of Strowman’s imposing frame as the unstoppable Voorhees is easy to picture—after all, he’s spent years playing the monster among men. Whether it’s on the squared circle or the silver screen, Scherr seems ready to keep his reputation for destruction alive.

Injured WWE Star Braun Strowman Makes Surprise Return In Post-SmackDown Dark Match

WWE fans in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, got an unexpected treat after last night’s episode of SmackDown went off the air. Braun Strowman, the “Monster Among Men,” made a shocking return to action during a dark match that pitted The Judgment Day against the LWO.

The post-show matchup saw Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio struggling against The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and surprise ally Carlito. The odds turned in the LWO’s favor when Strowman made his entrance, stepping in to even the playing field. Strowman’s involvement helped the team secure the win, and he left fans with a memorable moment, stuffing Carlito’s signature apple down his trunks after the match.

Strowman’s Road to Recovery

This surprise appearance marks Strowman’s first action in months following a groin injury sustained during his Last Monster Standing match against Bronson Reed on the September 30 episode of Raw. Strowman later revealed on Instagram that he tore his groin just two minutes into the match, but fortunately, surgery was not required for his recovery.

Before that injury, Strowman had already been through a challenging year. After undergoing neck surgery in 2023, he finally returned to WWE in April, only to face another setback with the groin tear during his feud with Reed. While his recent dark match appearance is a promising sign, there’s no official word yet on when he’ll be back on WWE television.

A Busy Schedule Ahead

Fans eager to see more of Strowman won’t have to wait long. He’s confirmed to appear at Great Lakes Championship Wrestling’s Blizzard Brawl on December 7, revisiting a promotion he last worked with in 2022.

Whether his dark match return signals a storyline reintroduction or serves as a tune-up for his independent commitments, Strowman’s return adds a new layer of excitement to WWE’s roster. With his larger-than-life persona and renewed momentum, the Monster Among Men is once again ready to dominate the ring.

Braun Strowman Injured In Last Monster Standing Match On WWE RAW

This week’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW ended on a high note with Braun Strowman defeating Big Bronson Reed in a Last Monster Standing match that saw not only the ring collapse, but the return of Seth “Freakin’” Rollins to interfere and cost Reed the match.

Unfortunately, that victory for Strowman didn’t come without its negatives, as it appears he may have suffered an injury during the brutal brawl.

On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez claimed Strowman sustained a torn groin injury. He said,

“I did get it confirmed – if you watched the Raw show last night, the Last Monster Standing match. They went to a commercial break, and they came back, and Braun Strowman got hit by Bronson Reed with a Samoan Drop. Braun Strowman grabbed his thigh/groin area, and then they were gonna do a spot where he knocked Bronson Reed off the apron through some chairs. (Strowman) starts running, and I knew immediately, this guy’s hurt. He normally can’t run all that fast, but he couldn’t even walk the ropes – he was limping the ropes. He knocks (Reed) off the apron and there was a long period where he just kind of laid there in the corner and the ref’s furiously communicating with the back. He may have torn his groin is what it’s looking like. That’s certainly what they thought yesterday.”

Braun Strowman Returns On WWE Raw, Confronts Logan Paul & NFL Star Patrick Mahomes

“The Monster Among Men” has returned to WWE after being on the shelf for almost a year, due to a serious neck injury that required fusion surgery. Braun Strowman was drafted to “WWE Raw” during Night Two of the WWE Draft, going to the red brand in the second round. Strowman was last seen on WWE television at the beginning of May 2023, when he was seemingly being poised for a tag team push alongside Ricochet.

Strowman was not just drafted on “Raw,” but also appeared to help Jey Uso against United States Champion Logan Paul and The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. Paul and friend and streamer IShowSpeed announced the second round picks before Paul headed to the ring, cutting a promo on Uso before Balor and McDonagh showed up, entering the ring while Uso’s back was turned. As The Judgment Day’s Irish contingent beat down Uso, Paul headed ringside to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who had been seen greeting Paul at the beginning of the show. Paul took Mahomes’ three Super Bowl rings and tried to attack Uso while wearing them, but hit McDonagh instead.

As the men looked at each other in the ring following Paul’s mistake, Paul and Balor looked to team up on Uso. Strowman’s music then hit and he stormed down to the ring. The former Wyatt Family member chased Paul out of the ring and delivered a chokeslam to Balor. He then got in the face of Mahomes at ringside, who was flanked by two Chiefs linemen, but was calmed down by Uso before things got physical.

WWE’s Braun Strowman Injury Update

WWE star Braun Strowman has been out of action since May 1 with a neck injury — one that eventually required Strowman to get cervical spinal fusion surgery. It’s been some time since there was an update on Strowman’s status, but during a recent interview with India’s News18, the former WWE Universal Champion let fans know where things stand regarding his injury rehab.

“I did my five-month check-up and got medically cleared to start lifting weights,” Strowman said. “I lost 35 pounds just sitting around for eight weeks because I wasn’t eating like I normally do since I wasn’t lifting. … So now we’re trying to put the weight back on. The goal for 2024 is to continue this. … I go back after the first year to have another check-up and then get back in the ring, getting back into shape, and then getting back to passing these hands out.”

While he was asked about a possible appearance at next month’s WWE Royal Rumble, the timeline Strowman offered makes it unlikely that he’ll be making his in-ring return anytime soon. In the meantime, it seems he’ll continue to rehab his neck and work on getting his body ready to wrestle again.

Though he isn’t able to wrestle, the performer did note that he has been cleared to travel, allowing him to do promotional duties for the company. Strowman also acknowledged that he may have to make some changes to his wrestling style following his latest injury once he does make his return, but doesn’t anticipate too much of a difference.

“I’ll be a little more cautious thinking because now that I have some hardware and stuff like that,” Strowman continued. “But at the end of the day, I don’t know, I’m crazy. I’ve worked around the injuries. As I said earlier, my left leg is 15% paralyzed and it has been my entire career. I don’t make excuses. I get it done.”

After being released by WWE in June 2021, Strowman returned last year on an episode of “WWE Raw,” marking the start of his second run with the company. Before his injury, Strowman seemed to be carving out a role as a tag team performer alongside Ricochet. With the high-flyer coming off an injury of his own, it remains possible that the two reunite sometime in 2024.

Braun Strowman Undergoes Neck Fusion Surgery

There was reports that former WWE Universal champion Braun Strowman was sidelined indefinitely with the fear that he may need to undergo some sort of unspecified surgery. As per an Instagram post this morning, Strowman has already gone under the knife, revealing that he underwent neck fusion surgery. It is not clear how long he will be sidelined, but usually this type of surgery would see the patient back to 100% within six months.

“Road to recovery starts now!!!! Level one #fusion on my c4/c5 #vertebrae was in the great hands of #DrCordover at @andrews_sports_medicine was a great experience considering. Thank you to @wwe for always taking the up most care of us.

This was very scary to find out about having to have done and they were there every step of the way reassuring that I was going to have the best care possible. This will take a little bit of time to heal from. But I assure you ( in the words of the #Terminator ) I’ll be back!!!! Thank you all in advance for the well wishes.

Much Love
Adam Scherr”

Braun Strowman Reportedly Out Due To A Concussion

According to PWInsider Elite and then confirmed by Fightful, WWE Superstar Braun Strowman is currently out of action due to a concussion.

As of this writing, it is not known how long Strowman will be out of action.

Fightful notes that Strowman was scheduled for house shows on April 22 and 23, but was pulled.

The concussion happened during the April 21 episode of SmackDown when Strowman had teamed up with Ricochet against the Viking Raiders.

Strowman noted on Twitter that he “misjudged things” with the spot that saw him toss Ricochet into the ring, trying to hit the Viking Raiders in the April 21 match. He then fell to the apron after he left the ring.

Braun Strowman Makes Return On WWE Raw

The rumors of Braun Strowman’s WWE return were indeed true. 

Last night on “WWE Raw,” the Monster Among Men showed up midway through a Fatal Four-Way Match to determine the #1 contender for The Usos’ Undisputed Tag Team Titles, laying waste to all eight men in the match before posing for the fans. During the beatdown, Strowman also did his signature sprint around the ring before shoulder tackling Otis through the barricade and power slamming Angelo Dawkins through the announce desk.

The segment ended with Strowman beating up a bunch of security members, who ran down to the ring to try and end his carnage. Strowman received a loud ovation for his return, eliciting chants such as “Welcome Back!” and “Get These Hands” from fans in Kansas City, MO.

While it’s unknown if Strowman will be a babyface or heel character on the red brand, he appeared to play to the crowd at one point, indicating that he will be on the heel side of the roster. 

The former WWE Universal Champion was released by the Vince McMahon regime on June 2, 2021, as part of the company’s budget cuts. The chatter of his return picked up once Paul “Triple H” Levesque took charge of WWE’s Talent Relations and Creative departments in July. Since Triple H has assumed those roles, others such as Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Dakota Kai, Hit Row, Dexter Lumis and Johnny Gargano have also returned to the company. 

Strowman appeared in a backstage interview later on the show to announce he will be on “WWE SmackDown” later this week.

Braun Strowman Has Reportedly Re-Signed With WWE

Triple H has been bringing a lot of previously released wrestlers back into the WWE fold since being appointed head of creative. Johnny Gargano, Karrion Kross, and Dakota Kai are just some of the names to be reinstated as WWE Superstars. Rumors started to swirl earlier this week that Braun Strowman would also be added to that list, and apparently, those rumors have now been confirmed.

That’s according to a new report from PW Insider claiming The Monster Among Men is once again a WWE Superstar. The former Universal Champion has reportedly signed a new deal with the company and will make his first appearance on RAW this coming Monday – September 5th.

Nevertheless, the latest report states the September 5 Raw which may well signal a big reset in WWE, and not just because Strowman looks likely to be back. Even though the draft that was once rumored to be starting next week now appears to have been pushed into 2023, Clash at the Castle will be the first PPV solely booked by Triple H. After that big show is in the rearview mirror, The Game can really put his stamp on what exactly he wants WWE to look like, at least when it comes to on-screen and in the ring.

Strowman was released by WWE in June of 2021 and might well be one of, if not the most surprising addition to that long list. Strowman had been Universal Champion the year before, beat Shane McMahon at WrestleMania a few months prior to being let go, and was competing for the WWE Title on a PPV just weeks before he was wished well in his future endeavors.

Braun Strowman Confirms New Ring Name, Reveals Upcoming Wrestling Appearance

Former WWE superstar Braun Strowman announced his post-WWE ring name as well as an appearance for a December wrestling show.

On Tuesday, former WWE superstar Braun Strowman (real name Adam Scherr) announced his post-WWE ring name as well as an appearance for a wrestling event in December.

Strowman took to Twitter and announced that he’ll wrestle as “The Titan” at the Dec. 4 “Blizzard Brawl” event in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The event will be held Waukesha County Expo Center. Strowman also noted that this is likely “the only show” he’ll be doing in the remainder of 2021:

https://twitter.com/Adamscherr99/status/1453025893308317707

Last week, it was reported that Strowman would be going by the “The Titan.” Many wrestling fans and pundits assumed that he would appear at the Impact Wrestling Bound for Glory pay-per-view on Saturday, but it never wound up transpiring. Days before the event, Strowman was seen meeting with Impact Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore.

Impact reportedly tried to bring in Strowman, Bray Wyatt (released on July 31) and Bronson Reed (released Aug. 6) for Saturday’s event. It should be noted that Wyatt’s 90-day non-compete clause with WWE doesn’t expire until this Friday.

Strowman was one of six WWE talents released on June 2, along with Aleister Black, Santana Garrett, Lana, Murphy and Ruby Riott. The 90-day non-compete clause of the former Universal Champion expired weeks ago, so he has been eligible to sign with a different promotion for a while now.

The 38-year-old Strowman wrestled his final match for WWE at WrestleMania Backlash on May 16. He faced off against Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre in a WWE Championship match, which The Almighty won by pinning The Monster Among Men.

As noted above, Strowman could have signed with another wrestling company several weeks ago. There surely isn’t a shortage of interest in the former Universal Champion and 2018 men’s Money in the Bank ladder match winner. It seems as though Strowman is happy to take his time and mull over the options before deciding where to sign next. His aforementioned tweet about not doing any other shows this year (outside of the Dec. 4 event) suggests that it could be a while until Strowman makes up his mind, too.
