According to Justin Barrasso of SI.com Wyatt, was out of action due to a “undisclosed physical ailment” that wasn’t related to a concussion. Wyatt was said to have been cleared just two days before he was released.
Barrasso also noted that Wyatt signed a new multi-million dollar deal in 2020 but agreed to the 90-day non-compete clause.
According to Sapp, Wyatt had been working on adding creative elements to his character and was slated to appear on RAW in Orlando. Wyatt liked a video on Twitter of fans chanting “We Want Wyatt” during the show…
