The WWE world has been undergoing a wave of emotions ever since their very own Bray Wyatt succumbed to death last Thursday. The Eater of Worlds was far from the squared circle since his match against LA Knight in Royal Rumble 2023 went down. But fans and critics continued to build up anticipation about his return to the mix tirelessly. Little did they know that ‘The Fiend’ would never make a return to the ring. The news led to a bunch of superstars sending their sincere prayers for the transcended soul.

However, as time passed, the destitute wailing of his colleagues turned into a light-hearted reminiscing of the wonderful memories they had with Wyatt. The latest one to recount his bond with the late star is none other than Big E.

Big E recalls a scrapped high school wrestling match between him and Bray Wyatt

Underneath a quirky gimmick, Bray Wyatt aka Windham Rotunda possessed a jolly soul who used to quickly blend with others. Among many of his close associates in the industry, former WWE champion Big E chose to bring out one special incident with his friend. The incident stems from the memory book of their high school wrestling days. Before dipping their feet into the Stamford-based company, both of them attained state championships in high school wrestling. It led to the build-up of a compelling match-up between them, but unfortunately, they ended up accepting forfeits.

Sharing the insight, the 37-year-old wrote on Twitter, ”Windham was a state champion wrestler in high school & grew up a couple of counties over from me. We were supposed to wrestle at a dual meet during the 2002-2003 season. I was at 215 and he was a very powerful & skilled heavyweight. I didn’t want to bump up, and we both accepted forfeits because our schools didn’t have anyone in our respective weight classes.”

However, despite their missed bout, the unforgettable brotherhood that cooked between the two standout stars was a real deal.

Recalling some of those jeering, Big E wrote in the rest part of the tweet, ”Once we became coworkers, he’d regularly hit me with that trademark, warm laugh & tell me I dodged him. He wasn’t wrong.”

Their relationship culminated in countless moments and friendly jabs between them in the latter days.

The electrifying chemistry between Big E and Bray Wyatt extended quite a way

Both wrestlers reunited during their developmental run in Florida Championship Wrestling. Working together in the WWE main roster followed it. The pair notably teamed up in a six-man tag team match during Battleground 2016. The match saw the leader of the Wyatt family, along with the other members, Braun Strowman, and Erick Rowan, take down New Day, including Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods.

WWE will never forget the prized superstar and his contribution to the business. His stories with a lot of fighters and other WWE insiders will be a recurring theme in the wrestling discussion for the coming years and beyond.
