Yes, Bray Wyatt is returning to WWE soon. But the time is still not known. Bray Wyatt missed a WWE house show at MSG and went missing from television, prompting reports that he was ill. As a result, WWE scrapped plans for Wyatt to face Bobby Lashley at WWE WrestleMania. Fans and Wyatt himself are looking forward to his return to WWE television. Many WWE stars found new homes on “WWE Raw” and “WWE Smackdown” following the first stages of the 2023 WWE Draft, leaving some notable names out of the pool of eligible talent. Wyatt was one of them.

Wyatt was still suffering from an ailment as of Wrestlemania 39 weekend, according to Fightful Select. Due to his absence, he hasn’t been included in any recent creative plans, including the draft, and it’s unclear when he’ll be seen on WWE TV again. According to the report, the “The New Face of Fear” has told people close to him that “he’s excited to make his way back whenever he’s able.”

Will Bray Wyatt be in WWE Draft?

Yes, Wyatt will be a huge draw alongside Alexa Bliss. However, neither of their names is currently in the draft pool. We’ll have to wait and watch whether their names are called, although it would come as a great surprise at this point.

Only time will tell how Bray Wyatt’s scenario plays out. We’ve also heard that some WWE releases for all levels are on the way. Bray Wyatt, hopefully, will not be freed in the midst of another sabbatical, as he was the last time.

Prior to the promotion’s eagerly anticipated Madison Square Garden show, the owner of the Firefly Funhouse abruptly left the road to Wrestlemania after returning to WWE last autumn and only competing in one televised match since. The reason for this is unknown. This left “All Mighty” Bobby Lashley without an opponent on the “Grandest Stage of Them All,” and Alexa Bliss in limbo, since both competitors were involved in storylines that relied on Wyatt’s presence.

With what has been defined as a “physical issue,” followed by an undisclosed illness, both the organization and the former WWE Champion have remained quiet on his current status and when he may be expected to return. Meanwhile, despite this mysterious situation, Wyatt isn’t the only wrestler not drafted. Bobby Roode and Tommaso Ciampa have also been ruled out of the draft due to injuries.
