WWE News - Braun Strowman Leaves WWE Tour Unexpectedly

PWInsider.com is reporting that Braun Strowman left the WWE Holiday Tour on Thursday, following an illness. The Monster Among Men did appear on two shows before leaving, and it's unclear if he will appear on Monday Night Raw this week.

On the tour, Strowman continued his feud with Kane, and a fan shared a video of him putting the Big Red Machine through a table. We should get more information on Strowman's condition soon, but we should hope it's nothing serious.

Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt recently went down with the mumps virus and were out of action for several weeks, and both had to be pulled out of their matches at the TLC pay-per-view.

Strowman missed about a month of action earlier in the year following an elbow injury. It was originally reported that he could have missed up to six months of action, but Strowman made a quick recovery.

If Strowman's illness is something that keeps him out for a while, this could cause some major changes in storyline.

Dean Ambrose is out for nine months after suffering a torn triceps, so it'd be a huge blow for Raw to lose another major superstar—especially with the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 34 not far off.

Strowman received a major push by the creative team in 2017, squashing a handful of opponents like Reigns, Kane, Big Show, and others.

The Monster Among Men is scheduled to face Kane and Brock Lesnar in a Triple Threat match for the Universal Championship at Royal Rumble.

We'll be sure to update with more information as it comes. For now, we can only hope that Strowman's illness isn't anything that keeps him out long-term.

He's worked hard to get to this level, and the WWE can't afford any more injuries to its main stars right now.

WWE News - Vince McMahon's Strange & Iconic Ear Pull From Raw Segment Explained - Duration: 3:37.

WWE News - Vince McMahon's Strange & Iconic Ear Pull From Raw Segment Explained

It's a gif used around the internet— Vince McMahon's nervous ear pull. Now, we know exactly what prompted that now infamous moment.

On an episode of Something To Wrestle, former WWE executive Bruce Pritchard talked about the WWE segment that saw Ric Flair return to the WWF in 2001, after Survivor Series and announced that he's now storyline partners with Vince McMahon after buying his and Stephanie's WWF stock.

After Flair's announcement, Flair hugged McMahon and then wide-eyed and with his mouth open, Vince pulled his own ear. Pritchard stated that it was a cue for him and Kevin Dunn to start Stone Cold Steve Austin's music.

Even though McMahon told Pritchard he would pull his ear in order to cue the music prior to everything going down, it didn't happen as quickly as he would have liked.

He explained that it takes longer than people think to get the music going since Pritchard had to relay the information to the production truck.

We all know by now that McMahon is a nut and a perfectionist, so his eyes being wide open, along with his mouth, while pulling his ear shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone.

He's always given some crazy looks over the years. The one thing that we all love about McMahon is that he loves the wrestling business and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Of course, McMahon has been in the news lately after it was reported that he's applied for multiple trademarks for terms like the "XFL" and "UFL" as rumors circulate that he's looking to once again try and be successful when it comes to running his own football league.

In 2001, McMahon and NBC started the Xtreme Football League (XFL), but it only lasted one season after it lost $35 million after putting a poor product on the field.

With NFL ratings slipping amid concerns over head injuries among fans, I would love to know what McMahon's plan is when it comes to producing a lucrative football league.

Comment below and tell us why you thought McMahon was pulling his ear 16 years ago. Do you think Pritchard is telling the truth?.
