Mike ‘IRS’ Rotunda was surprised that Bray Wyatt will not be inducted as part of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2024, while he will be inducted instead.
In a recent appearance on the “Wrestle Binge” podcast, Rotunda spoke about his upcoming WWE Hall of Fame induction and his son not being inducted. He said,
“I was surprised because my son, you know, with Windham passing, I thought they were going to immediately put Windham into the Hall of Fame, which he will be at some point.
“I think WWE reassessed his stuff and thought it was too soon to go there and then the reactions and stress on us. We got a call from WWE. They said, ‘Hunter wants to do a Zoom call.’ We were thinking they were going to tell us what’s going to happen at WrestleMania and Hunter said, ‘You guys are going to get inducted, you and Barry. You were part of the first-ever WrestleMania.'”
Rotunda will be inducted alongside Barry Windham as the US Express. Other inductees include Paul Heyman, Bull Nakano, Muhammad Ali, and Thunderbolt Patterson.
Wyatt passed away in August of last year at the age of 36. On WWEShop.com, proceeds from Wyatt-themed merchandise have been benefitting his family.
