5 WWE stars Braun Strowman is friends with in real life

#3 Braun Strowman is friends with Alexa Bliss

The real-life friendship between Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss became part of a storyline on WWE SmackDown after Bliss appeared in the Wyatt Swamp Fight at Extreme Rules 2020.

Prior to that, the only time that the two Superstars appeared together on-screen as their WWE characters came in 2018 when they joined forces to form Team Little Big in the Mixed Match Challenge tournament.

Away from a WWE ring, Braun Strowman has allowed fans to see a fun side to his personality when he has appeared with Bliss in out-of-character WWE shows, especially when they spoke on The Bump about the friendship that they formed while performing in the Mixed Match Challenge.

“It was a fun thing because there was no pressure. We just got to play off of each other’s energy. I mean, you guys see how much energy Alexa radiates through the screen, and then with my over-the-top personality. She’s the firework and I’m the lighter, man, and we just blew the place up.”

Braun Strowman also acknowledged that Bliss has had to calm him down sometimes when he gets frustrated on WWE tours.

“She still is the voice of reason, even in reality at times, she’s still the voice of reason. When I’m getting a little hot-headed on tour or something, she goes, ‘Braun, you’ve gotta calm down.’ I say, ‘Okay…’”

Although their Team Little Big pairing proved popular with WWE fans, Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss were knocked out of the competition in the semi-finals by The Miz and Asuka.
