There’s little publicly known about the backstage relationship between Big E and Bray Wyatt, though both men have talked about their real-life friendship with Brodie Lee.
Lee, who was known in WWE as Luke Harper, was eulogized by both men heavily in the months following his unexpected death, so there’s an implication that perhaps Wyatt and Big E are friendly behind the scenes as well.
If nothing else, the fact that Wyatt broke his cryptic and creepy persona to offer genuine praise about the decision on social media should show that there’s respect there, if nothing else.
