Adam Scherr (former WWE talent Braun Strowman) is currently in the hospital battling an infection.
He posted a video to his Instagram, revealing he spent the night in the hospital on Tuesday due to an infection in his knee. Scherr added the infection “came out of nowhere.”
In his update, he said he is on day two, still plumbed up to IVs and waiting on test to come back to find out exactly what the infection is.
“I just wanted to take a second to come on here and say thank you everybody that’s been reaching out and all the well wishes on my post about this infection,” he said. “I’m going on day two in here, still plumbed up to IVs, waiting on cultures to come back to find out exactly what it is. Pain’s pretty bad, but we’re still breathing. We’re still kicking. God’s got me, and I trust him and everything’s going to be okay. So it’s going to take a little bit to get over this hump, but y’all know me. Nothing keeps ‘The Monster’ down. So, again, thank you for all the well-wishes and thoughts and prayers and everything and everybody reaching out. It doesn’t go unnoticed. I love all of y’all very much. Thank you.”
Scherr currently stars in his own television food series on the USA Network, “Everything on the Menu.” After a successful first season, the network has ordered a second season. WWE released Strowman in May 2025.
