AEW star has two-word reaction to Braun Strowman's heartfelt tribute to Bray Wyatt
A wrestling veteran, currently signed with AEW, recently reacted to Braun Strowman's tribute to the Late Bray Wyatt with a two-word message. The veteran in question is Mark Henry.
The Monster Among Men debuted on the main roster of the Stamford-based company in 2015 as the fourth member of The Wyatt Family. The faction, which included Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper (Lt. Brodie Lee), and Erick Rowan, was already running roughshod over the WWE, and Strowman's entry further added weight to it. The 40-year-old spent a year with the Wyatt Family and then went his separate way as a singles wrestler.
During a recent interview with News18, the former Universal Champion talked about the role played by the leader of The Wyatt Family in his wrestling career:
“Oh, I wouldn’t be where I am in my career or life without that man. He did so much for me as far as in the business of teaching me to navigate my way through this crazy industry. He taught me how to be a better performer in the ring. But the most that I take away from my time with Bray Wyatt and the eight years that I got to spend with him was to be a better person. He’s one of the greatest human beings that has ever stepped foot on this earth. When you see this scary character and stuff like that, the ‘FIEND’ and everything that Bray Wyatt’s done, if you get to meet the man that was behind the mask — to say, a family man never met a stranger, and kind to everyone, and something that I aspire to be,” Strowman said.

Strowman, who is out due to injury, added that his return to the ring will not be just for him but will be for Wyatt.
