On a recent edition of the “Wrasslin’ Talk” podcast, Mike Rotunda discussed the tragic passing of his son Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) and how WWE helped their family following his demise.
Rotunda said, “It’s been really hard. We miss him every day. Growing up in the business, you always book stuff during the week because you’re going to be wrestling on the weekends and TV. Windham and Jojo were supposed to get married yesterday. We miss Windham horribly, every day. Windham was the first one and we would bring him on the road at six months old. They would come with me and stay on the road, wherever I was wrestling, and it’s so hard to wake up out of this nightmare and he’s still not there. I have to give WWE credit. They’ve done awesome helping our family out with a lot of different stuff. They put Windham on a legends contract and all the proceeds go to…Windham has four children. Luckily, we have them.”
Rotunda died of a heart attack while asleep at his home in Clermont, Florida on August 24, 2023, at the age of 36.
