A recent report sheds light on why WWE hasn’t included Bray Wyatt (real name: Windham Rotunda) in the Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
Wyatt sadly passed away last August at just 36 years old. Given his impactful contributions to wrestling through his creativity and compelling character, many fans expected his induction into the Hall of Fame this year.
The company has announced a new Peacock original documentary dedicated to The Fiend titled “Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal,” set to release on April 1st, 2024.
The documentary, narrated by Wyatt’s former rival, The Undertaker, is highly anticipated.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the decision to delay Wyatt’s induction might be linked to the documentary’s release during WrestleMania weekend. However, the company plans to honor him with a Hall of Fame induction at a later time.
Triple H, the Chief Content Officer of WWE, also expressed excitement about the upcoming documentary. He praised Wyatt’s creative genius and storytelling prowess in the ring, highlighting his unmatched talent. Triple H took to Twitter, saying:
“Windham Rotunda had a brilliant mind. There was no wall he wouldn’t break down in the name of storytelling. You had no choice but to believe in him. He was just that good. It’s time for his story to be the one that’s told. ‘Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal’ comes to @peacock on 4/1.”
