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 has still yet to be medically cleared for a potential in-ring return to WWE. One high level WWE official spoken to reported stated that “Wyatt is still sidelined and not cleared for action. We’re told that he’s still waiting clearance and hopeful for a return whenever that occurs.”
It was reported that WWE officials have not had any significant creative plans for Wyatt’s return in recent months due to his current medical status.
