Many fans and WWE stars in the entire United States wished the US Armed Forces a Happy Veteran’s Day. They thanked the men and women who kept them safe during their tenure, serving the country. 

Recently, WWE announcer Kayla Braxton shared a story of an army veteran who met a WWE legend once. Moreover, also connected the army veteran with the legend to make his day.

WWE announcer Kayla Braxton shared a post of meeting an army veteran named Mike on Wednesday. While she was at the hotel bar talking about WWE, sipping her wine, an older gentleman quickly joined her to talk. 

Kayla wrote, “Mike was his name – an Army Veteran. He lit up reminiscing about a time nearly 20 years ago when he flew a former WWE superstar/legend in his plane. He seemed so proud of that moment. I quickly shot a text to the superstar he was referencing to see if he remembered Mike, even though I thought maybe he wouldn’t remember, since so much time had passed.” 

She added, “Almost immediately after I sent the text, I received a text back: “Mike was the man. Those were scary times over there then. Mike kept us safe,” said @paulwight aka Big Show.”

The Big Show is one of the nicest people in the wrestling business. The ‘World’s Largest Athlete’ still remembers Mike, which made the army veteran glad.

She wrote, “Without me even asking, Paul quickly followed up his text with a FaceTime and I handed my phone to Mike and they talked and caught up for a good 10 min or so. Paul made Mike’s night. Hell – may have made his whole year. “

Braxton added, “The look on his face after hanging up that call … wow. I almost got emotional. Paul – thank you for honoring this veteran. You’re one helluva guy. And thank you to all of our veterans. We owe you everything. 🫡 🇺🇸”

The former WWE giant clearly, made the day of Mike. Furthermore, as Kayla Braxton wrote that everything happened for a reason. She had to fly to Indianapolis from Connecticut instead of her home in Florida to avoid Hurricane Nicole. Indeed, her flying to another place helped an army veteran to have a memorable Veteran’s Day.
