AJ Francis was fortunate to learn under the tutelage of Bray Wyatt during his WWE run before his release from the promotion last year.
On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, Francis recalled being able to watch and learn about wrestling from the three-time WWE World Champion. He said,
“Windham, to me, was somebody who would let me sit and learn. I would literally just sit and watch him and LA Knight put matches together. They did the match obviously [at] the [Royal] Rumble, but they were doing like dark matches and house shows the whole time.
“Windham, his character was so much different than anything I had ever done, so I wanted to see how he implemented his thing into what he was doing. Then he always had the nicest, I don’t wanna say disposition, but he would go out of his way to make everyone around him feel comfortable.”
Wyatt and Francis were both released from WWE in 2021 before both Superstars were brought back to the company in 2022.
Wyatt passed away in August of last year at the age of 36. A documentary about his life and career is set to be released next month.
