WWE fans were in for a treat at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, as Bray Wyatt made his long-awaited return to the business over a year after his departure. And again there is no Bray Wyatt to find. Wyatt is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant storytellers in wrestling today, with his Wyatt Family and The Fiend gimmicks receiving widespread acclaim from fans and journalists alike.

Bray Wyatt has been removed from WWE television and has not been seen since. Without him, WWE let Bobby Lashley win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Fans are still waiting for the return of Bray Wyatt.

Bray Wyatt’s status was confirmed by Ringside News. Nobody knows anything about Bray Wyatt, we were informed. The WWE creative staff has been advised that he will be cleared.

We’re hoping to see Bray Wyatt return to WWE television shortly. He is not cleared to compete at this time. It is also unknown what he is dealing with at the moment, but it appears to be significant enough to keep him out of play for this long.

Bray Wyatt was reportedly seen in Burbank prior to WrestleMania 39. As this fan approached him, he appeared to be in good humor, but he didn’t answer a query concerning his absence from WrestleMania. Bray Wyatt will undoubtedly pop a massive live crown upon his return. Let’s hope WWE can use him to the his best ability when the time comes.

Is Bray Wyatt ill?

Because Bray Wyatt hasn’t been featured on the previous few episodes of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, there’s been a lot of speculation regarding Bray Wyatt’s whereabouts in the last week or so. WWE is no longer promoting Bray Wyatt vs. Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania, according to recent sources, as Wyatt has been suffering from a “physical issue.”

Dave Meltzer stated on TSN Radio’s Sunday Night’s Main Event that Wyatt is battling an illness and that he does not sure what his situation is for WrestleMania. WWE did, however, tease Bray on SmackDown.

“He’s ill,” Meltzer said. “He was supposed to be at the show Friday and he was not so he’s still ill. They did do a quick tease of him so he’s not gone from the company. When I asked this week if he was going to be wrestling Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania, I did not get an answer and they did not promote that match on either show at all.”

Meltzer added, “I was not given an answer so my gut is that it’s up in the air. I was not told a no, I was not told a yes. I was just told that he is ill. I guess it’s out of their hands right now. But he’s still with the company. I know there’s people who think that he quit the company but they did do a tease on Friday Night SmackDown show…”
