This week’s SmackDown marked the final episode of the blue brand for 2024 and placed a strong spotlight on Braun Strowman. He stood tall against The Bloodline, stepping up to protect Sami Zayn. After the show went off the air, Strowman celebrated alongside Zayn and Jey Uso in a touching moment. As a heartfelt gesture, Strowman invited the children of Bray Wyatt and Brodie Lee to join them in the celebration, creating a truly emotional ending to the year.
Following their triumph over The Bloodline, Uso, Zayn, and Strowman invited Wyatt’s and Lee’s children into the ring to share a heartfelt moment. Together, they performed the Usos’ signature ‘Yeet’ gesture, celebrating the dawn of the new year to the iconic theme song of ‘Main Event’ Jey. The kids looked quite thrilled with such an incredible opportunity to celebrate in the ring after SmackDown.
Lee and Wyatt are two legendary figures in WWE whose impact on the world of professional wrestling remains unparalleled. Given Braun Strowman’s deep history with both late stars, this gesture was his heartfelt way of honoring his former friends. It seems The Monster Among Men chose to remember and pay tribute to his fallen comrades as a poignant way to close out 2024.
