WWE's Bray Wyatt has provided a positive update on the health of his uncle, the legendary Barry Windham.

For those who may have missed it, Windham suffered a massive heart attack last week. Now, Bray has taken to Instagram to confirm that Barry is thankfully out of the ICU, is stabilised, and Wyatt also noted how the WWE Hall of Famer was at one point without a pulse for 10 -20 minutes.

In an Insta video, Bray had special thanks for a Michael Todd Lalick(?), a civilian who gave Barry CPR while waiting for EMTs to get to the former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion. The WWE star also shared the GoFundMe page set up to help Windham with his medical bills. At present, that campaign has raised over $41,000 of its $200,000 goal.
