Braun Strowman reveals what set Bray Wyatt apart in WWE

Braun Strowman recently spoke about Bray Wyatt, and what set him apart from the rest of the WWE Superstars. Bray Wyatt tragically passed away in August at just 36 years old. Wyatt had established a loyal fanbase over the years, and his untimely death rocked the wrestling world earlier this year.

Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Riju Dasgupta in an exclusive interview, Strowman spoke about his former stablemate in The Wyatt Family and his promo skills. Strowman praised Wyatt’s character work, and noted that it set him apart from other superstars.

“Bray Wyatt was, in my opinion, the epitome of talking on a microphone. His character work, being able to go in and out of all these multiple characters, see his facial expressions change, hear his voice change.” [3:55 – 4:07]
