Braun Strowman made a surprise return during the closing moments of tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown, days before the 2021 Royal Rumble.
Strowman returned following a ten-man match, featuring members of the RAW and SmackDown roster, part of the quarterly Brand-To-Brand Invitational.
Last November, Strowman received a storyline suspension for putting his hands on WWE Official Adam Pearce, and has been off television since.
