5 WWE stars Braun Strowman is friends with in real life

#4 Braun Strowman is friends with Bray Wyatt

In August 2015, Braun Strowman emerged as a new member of The Wyatt Family when he attacked Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose on the post-SummerSlam episode of RAW.

Bray Wyatt moved to SmackDown alongside Erick Rowan and Luke Harper in July 2016, which meant Braun Strowman had to go it alone as a singles competitor on RAW for the first time in his WWE career.

Speaking to SPN Action in August 2018, Braun Strowman discussed his real-life friendship with Wyatt and credited his former Wyatt Family colleague with teaching him a lot about the wrestling business.

"Behind the scenes, I'm friends with everyone at work, but without a doubt, my best friend is Bray Wyatt. The man pretty much brought me into the industry when they tagged me up with The Wyatt Family, it was my seventh match I'd ever had. I didn't know the difference between a headlock and a beetle throw.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

As you can see in the Instagram post at the top of this page, Braun Strowman is a godfather to Wyatt and JoJo’s son, Knash Sixx Rotunda.
