During the latest episode of “The Extreme Life With Matt Hardy”, the current AEW star discussed his time working alongside Bray Wyatt, as well as ‘The Fiend’s” relationship with WWE chairman Vince McMahon.
Hardy spoke on the “strange relationship” Wyatt had with McMahon, comparing it to a father and and a son.
“Windham (Bray Wyatt) has always had a very strange relationship with Vince, very strange, like, I almost felt like Vince looked at him like a son in some ways,”
He also spoke on the way McMahon treated Wyatt, explaining when he did something he liked, he would “bend over backwards” for him, but when he did something he didn’t like he would “punish him and insult him”.
“When he would do things that he liked, he would love him and he would really give him everything that he could possibly give him. He would bend over backwards to try and accommodate him. But then when he did something he didn’t like, he hated, like he was going to lock him away for good.”
“It was almost like a really weird, a really strange and different duality that Vince shared with Bray. When he liked him or loved him, he was all about him. But when he disliked him, oh my god, it was really bad and he would like punish him and insult him. To me, it was so strange. It was almost like a parent.”
