In an interview with Bill Apter, soon-to-be WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda said that the fact that Bray Wyatt is not going to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year is much less stressful on their family.
Rotunda said that after Bray passed, he thought they would put him in the Hall of Fame immediately but thinks that WWE reassessed the situation.
“He will be at some point,” Rotunda said about his son in the HOF. “But I think that WWE reassessed stuff and thought it was too soon to go there with our family and the reactions and the stress on us.”
Rotunda, who used the IRS gimmick during his second stint with the company, said that when Bray passed, he called Triple H because he did not want rumors and “internet crap” about him so Levesque took the reigns and distributed the news himself.
“Then later, Triple H called and said we would like to do a documentary so his kids know him when they get older,” he continued, adding that he watched the documentary and it was sad, but very well done.
“WWE has been awesome. They just have been very helpful throughout the process with Windham passing. And very generous and I can’t say enough about that. Along with The Rock, he was sending food here every other day, and people reaching out, Undertaker and so many people,” he said.
