WWE legend Mike Rotunda recently recalled how The Rock sent his family well-wishes following the passing of his son Bray Wyatt.

Wyatt, real name Windham Rotunda, unexpectedly passed away on August 24, 2023, at the age of 36 after suffering a heart attack. The former WWE Champion was one of the most popular stars in the company, both with fans and his fellow wrestlers.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter, Rotunda said The Rock gave his family food after Wyatt's death:

"WWE has been awesome. They have been very helpful throughout the process with Windham passing and very generous. I can't say enough about that. Along with The Rock, he was sending food here every other day, and people reaching out. Undertaker. So many people. We did his funeral here in Brooksville, and a lot of WWE staff, wrestlers, wrestlers from AEW showed up. It was sadly a beautiful funeral to celebrate Windham." [From 01:39 – 02:32]
