Recently, Strowman took to Instagram on Jan. 9 to explain why he not only missed an episode of SmackDown but was also absent from the Netflix premiere of Raw.
“2025 has been off to a ruff start for me,” Strowman said. “I picked up some kind of a bug last week and it had absolutely whipped my a–. I laid in a hotel room for four days three with a fever of 102 or higher for the first three days.
“A week later I am finally over what I think is the hump. My severe body aches are finally easing up. Today is the first day I have been able to move around and really do anything.”
“I have lost 36 lbs in this week. Had test taken and all they could determine is that it was a very bad Flu thankfully. I hate I have had to miss last weeks Smackdown the premier of Raw on Netflix and I will miss TV again this week. This is yet another speed bump in the road. I will be back bigger stronger and badder than ever!!!”
“There hasn’t been anything this life has thrown at me that I haven’t been able to able to OVERCOME and this sure as hell isn’t gonna stop me in having one of my best years to date!!!!!”
“2025 your a–” is mine!!!!” Strowman definitively stated at the end of his post.
