Backstage Update on Bray Wyatt's Status & Ongoing Inactivity in WWE


-- Bray Wyatt's inactivity in WWE is approaching close to half a year, as he has been sidelined since late February with what is being termed an illness that subsequently has prevented him from being cleared for in-ring action by WWE's team of doctors. Fightfulselect.com is reporting that Wyatt's return doesn't appear to be on the horizon.

-- The report adds that a WWE "higher up" confirmed that Wyatt remains sidelined and not cleared for in-ring activity but that he awaits said clearance and is hopeful of returning to the company whenever that happens. Wyatt has last seen involved in a feud with Bobby Lashley that was headed towards a WrestleMania match with storyline involvement from Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas) and Alexa Bliss, both of whom have also been off TV for creative reasons and in Bliss' case, she is on maternity leave for the rest of the year. With Wyatt's status still up in the air, there have been zero creative plans for the entire group of wrestlers for a while.
