Bray Wyatt has become a huge star in WWE over the past year since unveiling his new Fiend character. The former WWE Champion took some time away from WWE in late 2018 where he cut himself off from the world and came up with his new persona.
In the past, Wyatt has been partnered with a number of stars including Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, and Matt Hardy which has allowed him to make some good friends along the way.
Whilst many of Wyatt's closest friends have now departed the company, Wyatt has friends all over the wrestling world and a handful of close friends who still wrestle as part of WWE.
#5. Bray Wyatt and Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt have squared off several times throughout the past few years on WWE TV and at one point for a very short period of time, Bryan was a member of The Wyatt Family until the storyline unraveled and ended with the two men on opposite sides of the ring once again.
The two men work well together and at present are on the same brand and could easily open up a feud in the future since Bryan himself has noted that Bray Wyatt is one of his closest friends so the chemistry is already there.
As part of a WWE Q&A back in 2017, Bryan revealed that he was close friends with the man who is now known as The Fiend, whilst Bray Wyatt himself has noted that he wants to face Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania in what would be his dream match on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Wyatt has nothing but praise for his former rival as seen from the above pose ahead of their collision at The Royal Rumble.
#4. Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper
Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt made their debut on WWE TV together back in 2013 as two-thirds of The Wyatt Family and have been close friends ever since. Harper and Erick Rowan seemingly became closer on WWE TV following the split when they became The Bludgeon Brothers.
Harper and Bray Wyatt remained close following the Wyatt Family split and shared a number of images of them hanging out when they weren't together on WWE TV.
Harper made the decision to leave WWE back in 2019 and was given his WWE release at the end of the year, something which Bray Wyatt was obviously upset by but he supported the fact that his friend needed to move forward.
Harper is now The Exalted One and the man behind The Dark Order on All Elite Wrestling's weekly TV show, whilst Wyatt is pushing The Fiend to the top of the SmackDown brand. It's obvious that if Wyatt ever decided to walk away from WWE then there would be a place for him in AEW alongside his former family member.
#3. Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton
Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt were part of an interesting feud throughout 2017, which saw Orton challenge the leader of The Wyatt Family for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.
Orton won the Championship and Wyatt was then denied a rematch that included the title but was part of The House of Horrors match which showed the potential for his character in WWE.
Even though their feud was seen as a failure on WWE TV, the two men have become close friends outside of the company with Bray Wyatt remaining completely in character on his Twitter page, but always sends Orton birthday messages.
Orton and Wyatt were part of The Wyatt Family together before Orton won the Royal Rumble and decided to challenge for the WWE Championship.
The 2020 WWE Draft is now right around the corner and it will be interesting to see if Orton and Bray Wyatt are put back on the same brand. This move would definitely open up a number of future possibilities for The Fiend if he was to look back at his rivalry with Randy Orton.
#2. Bray Wyatt and Fandango
Fandango and Bray Wyatt have been in the company for around the same amount of time and have obviously crossed paths on numerous occasions. Both Fandango and Bray Wyatt came through the ranks in FCW before making their debut on WWE TV.
Interestingly, Wyatt has his own personal Instagram where he often shares photos of his family and his close friends. Fandango is someone who has been seen on his Instagram page a number of times.
Bray Wyatt even sent out a Tweet back in 2019 where he apologized to the dancing star for forcing him to take on Braun Strowman whilst also making it clear that he was the best friend that a "fella could have."
It's unknown what was meant by the Tweet, but judging by the number of images of the two men that have been shared online of them outside of the company together, it's clear that the two men are good friends.
Fandango could be an interesting shout for someone to come up and be involved in The Firefly Fun House if the company wanted to repackage the current NXT star.
#1. Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman made his main roster debut as part of The Wyatt Family under Bray Wyatt and noted in the recent WrestleMania 24 on the WWE Network that he had only had around eight matches in his career before he debuted on WWE TV.
Strowman was taken under the wing of Bray Wyatt and was heavily pushed as the unbeatable member of the group.
The two men have stood across the ring many times throughout their career and recently collided at SummerSlam, where Wyatt defeated Strowman. Back in 2018, in an interview with SPN Action, Strowman confirmed that Bray Wyatt was his best friend.
"It's tough to keep a friend when you throw them off of cages and smash their car, eat their cake and do everything else. Behind the scenes, I'm friends with everyone at work, but without a doubt, my best friend is Bray Wyatt. The man pretty much brought me into the industry when they tagged me up with The Wyatt Family it was my seventh match I'd ever had. I didn't know the difference between a headlock and a beetle throw.
"Bray Wyatt rode with me, showed me how to get around, how to book hotels, how to make the towns. Then he started helping me with learning how to wrestle and I will forever be indebted to him. He's not my best friend, he's my brother."
Wyatt and Strowman are such close friends that The Monster Among Men was named as The Godfather of Wyatt and Jojo Offerman's first child, Knash Sixx.
