10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Braun Strowman
2. He Was Bray's Heavy
Up until the brand split this time last year, Braun Strowman had spent the lion's share of his WWE career taking orders from Bray Wyatt, a man of only half his size and - since the House of Horrors debacle - probably about a quarter of his credibility.
The erstwhile connection between Bray and Braun was alluded to in the build-up to Survivor Series when the Eater of Worlds accused his former protege of abandoning his brothers (although he could hardly be blamed for being drafted to a different show) but by and large the commentators don't really bring it up.
It makes sense, really: today's Strowman doesn't take orders from anyone - not even EMTs trying to help him after a near-death experience - so there's no reason to remind viewers that he used to be Bray's b***h.
