As noted before, Bray Wyatt has been out of action for WWE since this past March due to an undisclosed “physical illness” medical issue.
Fightful Select reported that their sources stated that Wyatt is finally getting “closer” to being medically cleared for a potential return to WWE.
It was reported that their sources also recently told them what was the exact illness that Wyatt has been dealing with but Fightful was not willing to disclose it for their report. Wyatt’s undisclosed illness reportedly was stated to be both career and life threatening but he has improved significantly over time.
Those spoken to reportedly stated that WWE officials recently have been working on creative ideas for Wyatt’s potential return. One source spoken to reportedly stated that some of these ideas were for a potential return this September but this is entirely dependent on him being medically cleared by that time.
It was reported that WWE’s original plans for Wyatt was for him to form a group with Alexa Bliss, Eric Young, and Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas) that were dropped following Wyatt’s illness, Bliss’ maternity leave, and Young requesting and being granted his release from the company.
