On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Braun Strowman expressed gratitude for his WWE career and credited WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry for his success within the company.

Strowman said, “This man saw something in a hungry young kid that was lost and didn’t know what he was doing in life but he wanted to do something. Put his name on the line, got me down, got me a try-out, picked me up at the airport, was there for my try-out, took me out to dinner, took me out for some extra-curricular activities afterwards we’ll leave it at that. I thank the lord every day for the people I have in my life that have given me that opportunity and helped me along the way to be myself. He didn’t give me nothing easy, he gave me the tools, he got the door open for me and I had to go in and do the work.”

Strowman and Kairi Sane defeated Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan in a mixed tag team dark match following last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
