Mike Rotunda believes Bray Wyatt will return to WWE ‘hopefully shortly’

The father of Bray Wyatt feels his son will be coming back to WWE soon.

Appearing at WrestleCon over the weekend, former WWE and WCW star Mike Rotunda (IRS) told Sportskeeda that he feels Wyatt will be back “hopefully shortly.”

“You read a lot of stuff on the internet which I wouldn’t believe a lot of or, in my case, any of it. Bray Wyatt…I’m sure he will return to WWE, hopefully shortly, and we’ll go from there,” he said.

The 36-year-old Wyatt has been gone since February due to an undisclosed illness for which he has yet to be medically cleared. Earlier this month, Fightful reported that he is getting closer to achieving that status. The ailment was reported as both career and life threatening which is why there has been caution with bringing him back.

Wyatt last wrestled on a February 26th house show against LA Knight.

Rotunda also gave an update on his brother-in-law Barry Windham after he suffered a heart attack last December. Rotunda said Windham was “doing good and back up and running” and just did an autograph signing recently.
