Bray Wyatt has been off WWE television for months due to a reported illness and did not appear at the Wrestlemania 39 PLE. In July, Twitter account Better Wrestling Experience (@BoozerRasslin), which has leaked RAW and Smackdown plans in recent months, noted that Wyatt’s return to WWE is “very near” although Wyatt did not appear at Summerslam.

According to Fightful Select, Wyatt is “getting closer” to being cleared and there are tentative creative plans being discussed. Fightful noted the following…

“Of late, we’ve confirmed that Wyatt isn’t actively cleared, but those we’ve spoken to claim that he’s getting closer, and that there have been some creative ideas presented. One source indicated that some ideas were even mentioned for September, however that won’t mean anything if he doesn’t get that clearance.”

Wyatt’s illness has not be disclosed and WWE has been taking “extra precautions” to make sure that his long-term health is taken care of. Sean Ross Sapp did tweet the following…

“After today’s update, it was explained to Fightful that the illness that Bray Wyatt is actively recovering from was both career and life threatening.”
