Braun Strowman’s run of bad luck isn’t letting up, as the former WWE Superstar was hospitalized with a sudden knee infection this week.

On January 27, 2026, Strowman took to Instagram to reveal he spent the night in the hospital after developing an unexpected and painful infection in his right knee. The situation came out of nowhere and forced him into emergency care.

Despite the unexpected setback, the Monster Among Monsters closed the message reflecting his frustration—but also his determination to bounce back.

“Well spent the night in the hospital with an infection that came out of nowhere in my right knee. So I could use some prayers and well wishes. #ThisSucks #WhyMe #lol #painful #IGotThis #ThankYou #FeetAintFree.

The hospitalization follows another recent incident on January 14, when Strowman was rear-ended during a test drive of his freshly finished #94 EG hatchback Civic. While the vehicle sustained damage, Strowman said he was left only with a sore neck and relief that it wasn’t worse.

“Ugh finally got the #94 #eg #hatch #civic done and I got rear ended on the test drive. Necks a little sore but all in all I’m glad this is as bad as it is. Could have been way worse.”

Now with a hospital stay added to the mix, Strowman’s stretch of bad luck continues, but he seems determined to push through it no matter what.
