Bray Wyatt’s journey back to the WWE ring has been shrouded in uncertainty following his abrupt absence from television while on the road to WrestleMania 39. The highly anticipated match between Bray Wyatt and Bobby Lashley was abandoned due to Wyatt’s sudden disappearance. Although details regarding Wyatt’s status have been kept under wraps by WWE, there are recent developments that provide insight into his potential return.
Reports from behind Fightful suggest that there is some positive news concerning Bray Wyatt’s health status. While he is currently not medically cleared, there are indications that he may be getting closer to receiving the necessary clearance. Wyatt has been dealing with an undisclosed illness, which has prompted both him and the company to take extra precautions to ensure his long-term well-being.
Although Wyatt has not yet been officially cleared, sources indicate that creative ideas have been floated for his return, with some suggestions even pointing to a potential comeback in September. These plans, however, are contingent upon Wyatt receiving medical clearance to step back into the ring.
Fightful has learned that Bray Wyatt is finally getting “closer” to clearance after almost six months without it. Wyatt has battled an illness that we won’t disclose, and the company and Wyatt have been taking extra precautions to make sure that his long-term health is accounted for. But there is some positive news.
Of late, we’ve confirmed that Wyatt isn’t actively cleared, but those we’ve spoken to claim that he’s getting closer, and that there have been some creative ideas presented. One source indicated that some ideas were even mentioned for September, however that won’t mean anything if he doesn’t get that clearance.
There were ideas for Wyatt to be integrated with Alexa Bliss, Eric Young and Uncle Howdy/Bo Dallas. However, after Bray Wyatt was sidelined, Alexa had maternity leave and Eric Young requested and was granted his WWE release.
Recent reports also shed light on potential creative directions that were being considered for Wyatt before his absence. These ideas included integrating him with other WWE Superstars such as Alexa Bliss, Eric Young, and Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas). However, the shifting landscape within WWE, including Bliss’s maternity leave and Young’s departure following a requested release, has further complicated the potential execution of these creative concepts.
