Iconic WWE Tag Team Duo of Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham, who appeared together as the US Express have been announced as the latest inductees into the prestigious Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 cohort.
The pair were a fan favourite back in the 1980s and their legacy continued as Rotunda’s son Windham Rotunda and Taylor Rotunda, better known by their ring names, Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas were part of the WWE.
Rotunda was married to Barry’s sister Stephanie, making the pair real-life brother-in-laws.
The American pair claimed the World Tag Team Champions twice and were noted for their entry to the iconic Bruce Springsteen song ‘Born in The U.S.A.’

The pair joins Paul Heyman and Bull Nakano in the latest batch of Hall of Fame inductees as the wrestling manager and the Japanese wrestler were named as the first and second names on the list for the year.
Heyman has made a name for himself as the wise man after having scouted and represented talent in WWE for many years now and currently accompanies WWE Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns and the Bloodline.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson returned to the ring recently in the buildup to the upcoming Wrestlemania as he teamed up with Reigns and challenged Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins to a bout at the WWE showpiece event.
Nakani was a trailblazing wrestler as she perfected the heel persona and carried herself out with an air of authority that caught the crowd’s attention. Her leather-padded outfit and face paint added to the narrative as she served as the reason for future generation of wrestlers to take the ring.
