Former professional wrestler and WWE legend Mike Rotunda has been placed in hospice, according to the latest health update regarding the father of the late Bray Wyatt.

Rotunda's brother-in-law and former tag team partner, Barry Windham, recently discussed his health with Bill Apter in an interview from Oct. 25, 2025.

“It's kinda tough right now. Mike is in hospice right now,” Windham revealed, continuing, “I love that family, but it's so tragic.”

Rotunda is a retired professional wrestler best known for his stints in the WWF (now WWE) and WCW in the '80s and '90s. Throughout his career, he was a multi-time tag team champion in various promotions.

In April 2024, Rotunda and Windham were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a tag team, the U.S. Express. They were inducted by Rotunda and Bo Dallas, his son.

He retired from professional wrestling on a full-time basis in 2004. However, he would continue appearing in various promotions and participating in sporadic matches.
