WWE Superstar Braun Strowman recently spoke about his friendship with Bray Wyatt.

Strowman made his debut on the main roster as part of the Wyatt Family. The Monster among Men joined the faction and immediately became a force to reckon with. After a long stint under Bray, Braun broke off on a dominant singles run where he won the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, and also became a Universal Champion.

On a recent episode of The Ranveer Show, Strowman reflected on his friendship with Bray. He recalled how Wyatt was warm with everyone and treated people with respect. Braun mentioned that they would spend a lot of time together on the road, and he learned a lot from the departed star.

"How he was with people, he never met a stranger, he was kind to everyone, he was a family man. Like more so what people saw on the screen was what I saw behind the scenes because we spent, well we spent more time together than we do with our own families. So just being able to learn from that man."

Strowman also recalled the time when Bray paid for his hotel rooms and food for a month while he was just finding his feet on the main roster.

"When I got called up to the main roster, I didn't have enough money to pay for my hotel rooms while we went on the road. So for the first month, Bray paid for everything for me. He bought me food, he paid for my hotel rooms, all that stuff, and I drove him around everywhere, and I learned from him." [From 22:55 - 23:40]
