10 Times WWE Wrestlers Should Have Refused To Read The Script

Braun Strowman’s promo had that esoteric and poetic style that fans love Bray Wyatt for. However, in Strowman’s mouth it didn’t click.

Strowman recalled meeting Wyatt in overly flowery prose, describing “sitting on the edge of that disgusting swamp” with “Bray’s lantern glistening in the dark”. Like all bad poets, Strowman quickly became repetitive: “As I looked towards the water, a water moccasin started to slide out of the water”. The script, regardless of Braun’s efforts, was a low-rent rip-off of classic Wyatt promos.

Strowman adopted the vocal technique of Christian Bale’s Batman, which came off as bizarrely sexual and uncontrollably horny, as he relayed being “overcome with emotion, enamoured at this feat that he’d just witnessed”. He concluded Wyatt was “the devil himself” and that in following him he “started doing the devil’s work”. Strowman managed to set up a match against Bray, before having a cringey evil laugh contest with his opponent’s recorded giggling.

Braun’s appeal is his size and power, however, writers did him a disservice with this sub-Wyatt script.
