5 Reasons why Braun Strowman defeated Bray Wyatt to retain his Universal Championship at WWE Money in the Bank

#3 Bray wanted to put Braun Strowman over at Money in the Bank

Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman might be hell-bent on destroying each other on-screen, but in reality, the two are great friends backstage. So much so that, Bray Wyatt has even picked Braun Strowman as the Godfather to his son Knash.

On a recent episode of Dropkick DiSKussions, Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue reported that Bray possibly wanted to put over the Monster Among Men at Money in the Bank.

"However, we know their history, Bray Wyatt very much believes in Braun Strowman. I think that this might be a match that Bray wants to lose, in many ways, not just the actual man himself who undoubtedly wants to work and really put him over, as he's always done. He has really worked hard with Braun to do everything he can and Braun is reaping the rewards of his own hard work as well but you also have to consider, Bray Wyatt changes people."

"I don't want to see Braun straight back heel again. It's getting to Big Show level flip-flopping. I've spoken on this podcast extensively, if they were going to get out of this match with Braun Strowman retaining, it had to be a storyline reason. The fact that it is Bray Wyatt and not the Fiend, that's a storyline reason. To me Braun retains. Braun knows Bray. Also in a backstage sense, Bray wants to give that rub to Braun."
