Mike Rotudna was interviewed by Bill Apter on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge. His son Bray Wyatt was rumored to be on the list of legends being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. However, as reported last week by Dave Meltzer, his induction is being held off for a later date.
Rotunda explained why his son is not getting inducted this year. He said, “With Windham passing, I thought they were gonna immediately put Windham into the Hall of Fame, which he will be in at some point.”
Rotunda continued, “I think WWE reassessed stuff and thought it was too soon to go there with our family and the reactions and the stress on us. We got a call from WWE and [they] said Hunter wants to do a Zoom call. We were thinking they were gonna tell us what was gonna happen at WrestleMania and Hunter said, ‘You guys are gonna get inducted. You and Barry were a part of the first [WrestleMania] show. It’s very flattering obviously and actually less stressful on us because of all the stuff that we had to go through with Windham passing, just the mental capacity of it.”
On his induction with Barry Windman: “Obviously, it’s a great honor because you’re getting rewarded for what you spent 40 years doing.”
WWE’s documentary “Bray Wyatt: Immortal” premieres this Monday, April 1st on Peacock.
