EXPLAINED: Why Bray Wyatt Isn't In The 2024 Class Of WWE Hall Of Fame

With WrestleMania season comes the WWE Hall of Fame, with legends of the past honoured with induction into the hallowed halls.

The 2024 class is set to feature the likes of Paul Heyman, Bull Nakano, Muhammad Ali, and Thunderbolt Patterson, but will not see the late Bray Wyatt receiving his induction, despite heavy rumours. Bray’s father Mike ‘IRS’ Rotunda is set to be inducted in 2024 as part of the US Express with Barry Windham, with Rotunda recently revealing to Bill Apter why Wyatt won’t be inducted in 2024:

“With Windham passing, I thought they were going to immediately put Windham into the Hall of Fame, which he will be at some point, 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.

“We got a call from WWE and said Hunter wants to do a Zoom call. We were thinking they were going to tell us what was going to happen at WrestleMania and Hunter said, ‘You guys are going to get inducted. You and Barry. You were a part of the first ever WrestleMania.’ It’s very flattering, obviously, and actually less stressful on us because of all the stuff that we've had to go through with Windham passing, just the mental capacity of it. Obviously, it's a great honour because you are getting rewarded for what you spent 40 years doing,” said Rotunda.

A documentary on Wyatt titled ‘Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal’ will air on Peacock on April 1.
