Braun Strowman is reminded of Bray Wyatt every day: 'I can feel him, he's still around'

Though Bray Wyatt has passed away, Braun Strowman can still feel his presence.

Strowman spoke with Chris Van Vliet for an episode of Insight that was published on Thursday. During the conversation, Strowman discussed the "very deep connection" that he had with Wyatt. Strowman feels like he can still see Wyatt and is reminded of him every day:

I see him all the time. It's crazy -- it really is crazy. Like, I don't know how spiritual anyone is or this and that, but I had a very deep connection with him. I mean, I see him and there's things that remind me of him and constantly, every day there's something, I can feel him, he's still around.

Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) died of a heart issue in August 2023. He was 36 years old.

During his career, Wyatt was a three-time World Champion and one of the most recognizable characters in WWE. Strowman told Van Vliet that being part of the Wyatt Family with Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan is something that changed his entire life:

It changed my entire life. I was this kid that, you know, was told he was never going to make it, never going to be anything, bullied, fat kid growing up. And having a group of guys, three talented, unbelievable human beings take me under their wing and show me the ways through this crazy business. Like, words can't really explain how grateful I am for that, because I'm not where I am in life without those guys.

Strowman said that, from the day Wyatt saw him for the first time, Wyatt knew he needed him in the Wyatt Family. Wyatt lobbied for Strowman to be in the faction and did everything he could to make it happen.

The documentary "Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal" premiered on Peacock last month. It began teasing the return of Bo Dallas as Uncle Howdy. Rowan may also be returning to WWE.

Van Vliet's interview with Strowman was conducted during WrestleMania week. Since then, Strowman has been cleared to return from the neck fusion surgery that he underwent last June.

Strowman made his return on Raw this Monday, taking part in an angle that included NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes. Strowman saved Jey Uso from an attack by Logan Paul and Finn Balor after they tried to use Mahomes' Super Bowl rings as a weapon.

The 2024 WWE Draft concluded on Monday's Raw episode. Strowman was drafted to the Raw roster.
