Braun Strowman Rehired To WWE By Stephanie McMahon

In an update to a story posted earlier, Braun Strowman has been rehired to WWE by Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon on tonight's edition of Raw. Furthermore, he has also been placed back into the Universal Championship match at the upcoming Royal Rumble event, which also involves Kane and champion Brock Lesnar.

As previously reported, Strowman had been fired earlier in the night by Raw General Manager Kurt Angle due to his actions on last week's broadcast, in which he brought a portion of the Raw stage down on Lesnar and Kane. As a result, he had also been removed from the Universal Championship match at the Royal Rumble event. Following Strowman's firing, he unleashed multiple assaults backstage on Raw Superstars and security, as well as invading the WWE production trucks.

Following Strowman's reinstatement, he threw announcer Michael Cole into a group of security guards:

Well, this is how @BraunStrowman celebrates?!
