The WWE Universe is in tears before WWE Payback. In the wake of the sudden passing of Windham Rotunda, known to the wrestling world as Bray Wyatt, the outpouring of grief and tributes from fellow wrestlers and fans alike has been profound. Among the heartfelt remembrances, one tribute stands out for its emotional depth and sincerity: Braun Strowman’s touching post on Instagram. Through his words, Strowman offered a glimpse into the unique bond he shared with Wyatt, showcasing a friendship that transcended the boundaries of the wrestling ring.
Strowman’s tribute post, shared on Instagram, captures the essence of the relationship he shared with Bray Wyatt. He began his tribute with a poignant acknowledgment of the difficulty of finding words to express his feelings in the face of such a loss. “I really don’t even know how or where to start. This is just what I can muster up right now,” Strowman wrote, encapsulating the overwhelming sense of grief that often accompanies the loss of a close friend.
The post continued with a reflection on the journey they had embarked on together. “8 years ago today, I joined you as your black sheep. If I knew that only eight short years later I would have to say goodbye, I sure as hell wouldn’t have taken so much for granted. This sentiment is one that many can relate to: the regret of not fully appreciating the time spent with a loved one until it’s too late.
Strowman’s words serve as a testament to the profound impact Bray Wyatt had on his life. The post goes on to highlight the multifaceted nature of their relationship. “You were my best friend, my mentor, my big little brother, and my brother of destruction. You were there for all my highs and lows, as I was for yours. This camaraderie extended beyond the wrestling arena, illustrating the depth of their connection.
What stands out most is the genuine admiration and love that Strowman had for Wyatt. “You taught me so many things in the business that we shared and loved, and you taught me so much in life. You truly made me a better person. Strowman’s tribute echoes the sentiment shared by many who had the privilege of knowing Bray Wyatt: his influence extended beyond wrestling, touching the lives of those who knew him on a personal level.
One of the most poignant moments in the tribute post is Strowman’s mention of being named the godfather to Bray Wyatt’s son, Knash. “I was so honoured the day I found out you were having a Knash boy and you asked me to be his ather.” This act of trust and inclusion speaks volumes about the depth of their relationship and the level of mutual respect they held for each other.
Strowman’s words also extend to Bray Wyatt’s family, emphasising the bond that they shared. “My heart is with the Rotunda family, JoJo, and all the babies. I know I love you all so much. This acknowledgment underscores the sense of unity that often characterises the wrestling community, reminding us that they are more than just colleagues; they are a family.
The tribute concludes with a heartfelt farewell and the promise of a reunion. “I’ll see you down the road, my friend. Slap Brodie on the ass for me when you see him. I know this isn’t over forever. I LOVE YOU HOOT!!! These parting words carry a message of hope and resilience, a belief that their paths will cross again in the future.
Braun Strowman’s tribute to Bray Wyatt is a testament to the power of friendship, mentorship, and the deep connections that form among individuals who share a passion. It’s a reminder that the wrestling world is not just about the matches and storylines but also about the relationships that are forged both inside and outside the ring.
