Recalling his past struggles and challenges, Strowman expressed gratitude towards his fellow Wyatt Family members for embracing him and guiding him through the tumultuous world of wrestling.
“[The Wyatt Family] changed my entire life. I was this kid that was told he was never gonna make it, never gonna be anything. [I was a] bullied, fat kid growing up. And having a group of guys, three talented, unbelievable human beings take me under their wing and show me the ways through this crazy business, words can’t really explain how grateful I am for that, because I’m not where I am in life without those guys,” Strowman revealed, reflecting on the pivotal role the faction played in his personal and professional growth.
