On the episode of WWE SmackDown aired on December 13th, Braun Strowman made a comeback to the ring.
Known as The Monster Among Men, he switched from being a part of WWE RAW to join WWE SmackDown roster, all thanks to the transfer window.
Strowman was off-air since he sustained a groin injury during a Last Monster Standing match against Bronson Reed that happened on WWE RAW episode of September 30th. However, he did participate in a dark match on November 15.
Showing his might once again, Strowman defeated Hayes with a spectacular running powerslam on SmackDown. Take a look here:
UH OH! 😳
@Carmelo_WWE will be facing The Monster of All Monsters!

The WWE SmackDown episode also witnessed an unexpected appearance by Drew McIntyre who ambushed Jimmy Uso.
The broadcast kicked off with Jimmy using crutches and discussing his future post-WarGames.
Despite his toe injury, Jimmy exhibited an optimistic outlook towards 2025, mentioning the Royal Rumble and a possible United States Title run.
The session was suddenly interrupted by McIntyre who unleashed a Claymore Kick, continuing his series of attacks on those affiliated with CM Punk and Roman Reigns at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
McIntyre perpetrated the attack on Jimmy until the arrival of Nick Aldis and other officials. As Aldis was enraged, The Scottish Psychopath made a calm exit.
