A nugget from this week's Wrestling Observer, which said that a planned angle between Braun Strowman and Shinsuke Nakamura was shelved owing to the big lad's injury, but might now be back on.

As per Dave Meltzer:

"The other one is Nakamura and Braun Strowman. Braun Strowman is hurt. Yeah, they were supposed to do the angle on Friday but Strowman got hurt and they couldn't do the angle. That was on the card a week ago and Braun got hurt. One person told me back spasms, but the official company line is that he's got a hip injury that's not serious and it's only a couple of days. But he missed all the weekend house shows. I don't know what Strowman's status is, but I think if he is okay by Friday they may shoot that angle"

Certainly gives Sami Zayn something entertaining to do, but whether or not Nakamura can take another big PPV loss this close to Survivor Series remains to be seen.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
