Bray Wyatt has surely left a huge void that can never be filled in the world of WWE. His mere presence was enough to showcase his pure excellence and how genius he truly was. Known for his popular Wyatt Family faction, Bray has uplifted the careers of his stablemates including Braun Strowman, who went on to become World Champion in the future.
His stablemates always enjoyed having him around and gained much behind-the-scenes knowledge from him. In addition to his fellow wrestlers and stablemates, Wyatt had a strong fan base eager to watch him engage in fierce competition. Talking with Chris Van Vliet, Braun Strowman spoke about the late superstar and how their Swamp Fight became Braun’s favorite moment in his WWE career.
Bray and Braun engaged in a ‘Swamp Fight‘ at Extreme Rules 2020 for the Universal Championship. After filming, Strowman revealed how happy he was to have that encounter with Wyatt, but he also mentioned how he needed to be sent to the hospital right away.”That was my teacher, my mentor, my master, being able to go out there and use the tools and the assets that he taught me…”, stated Braun.
He further stated, “I ended up in the hospital after it, so I got home and I collapsed in my house with full body cramps.” The Monster Among Men was seriously injured after the match and gave it his all as he required four litres of fluid to get his body to not cramp.
Braun Strowman wasn’t fond of the reviews his match against Bray Wyatt got
Strowman also addressed the criticism that a lot of people had of the match, stating that it was hard to hear it when he was risking his health and well-being. “I get it, it’s your opinion you’re entitled to it, but like I almost killed myself to make this happen for y’all.”, stated the Monster among men about critics reviewing his Swamp FIght with Bray.
Being one of the most exciting matches on the card, Braun and Bray shot for 32 continuous hours to make the match look more intense. However, these efforts weren’t very well received by the fans as they hoped more out of the two. The match itself was slow-paced but had great production management with intense cinematic shots and absolute storytelling.
Braun Strowman Opens up on How He Is Dealing with Bray Wyatt’s Death
Braun Strowman spoke about Bray’s presence and how his death has affected him with an unmatched emotion and vibe. Sitting down with Chris Van Vliet, Braun openly talked about Bray and how he still remembers the Eater of Worlds. “I see him all the time. It’s crazy, it really is crazy. I don’t know how spiritual anyone is, but I had a very deep connection with him.”, said Braun. He continued by saying that several things remind him of Bray and he misses him every day.
This demonstrates the close bond Bray shared with his buddies and the WWE Universe. The Monster Among Men may be the closest wrestler to the Eater of Worlds, but not by much. He demonstrated this by speaking highly of Wyatt and giving his all for him.
Alongside the evil Wyatt Family—Bray Wyatt, the late Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan, Strowman made his WWE debut. Nobody anticipated that Braun’s presence would cause him to become so well-known in the WWE. Braun said he owed the Wyatt Family everything and that he was still appreciative of how their support had impacted his life.
Strowman claims that from the first moment Wyatt saw him, he knew he needed him in the Wyatt Family. Wyatt exerted every effort to encourage Strowman to join the faction. Their unmatched bonding has truly affected the Monster Among Men which makes him sad each passing day since the unfortunate demise of his stablemate.
Bray’s legacy was again glorified as Uncle Howdy finally appeared in front of the audience on the most recent episode of RAW. The crowd had been anticipating Uncle Howdy’s arrival for a while, and the way it was performed made it well worth the wait. WWE made care to present the faction to fans in the best possible light, and the way the production staff executed the reveal was extraordinary.
