The anatomy of a monster: Bray Wyatt's family tree

Uncle: Kendall Windham

While Kendall might be the "lesser-known" of the Windham-Rotunda family, he still had his fair share of in-ring success throughout his nearly 20-year wrestling career. Kendall enjoyed moderate success with several promotions, which included WCW, Championship Wrestling of Florida and Jim Crockett Promotions. Much of his in-ring style was adopted from his father, Blackjack Mulligan. For instance, Kendall perfected the lariat, which was one of Mulligans most powerful and popular manoeuvres.

Kendall keeps a very close relationship with Bray Wyatt to this very day. In fact, Kendall's son is actually named Wyatt. Currently, Kendall owns and operates a security services company in his hometown of Brandon, Florida, which is a suburb of Tampa.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.

Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.

When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
