• Braun Strowman Is Thankful To Roman Reigns For WrestleMania Opportunity
During the WWE 24 documentary on WrestleMania 36, titled “WrestleMania: The Show Must Go On”, Braun Strowman discussed Roman Reigns pulling out of the show, which led to him facing WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg for the Universal Championship.
Below is what Strowman said:
“It was originally supposed to be Roman Reigns vs. Bill Goldberg, but with everything that’s going on, if it wasn’t for him having new-born twins…I talked to Roman a good bit about this and I could hear the disdain in his voice about how much he didn’t want to do this.
But being a father and a man, and a damn good one that he is, he did the right thing. And I’m thankful for it, because it gave me an opportunity to show the world what I’m capable of as well.”
Strowman got emotional while talking about it and his younger days, where he got bullied for being a fat kid.
