Some good Bray Wyatt news
Added 2023-08-10 19:38:05 +0000 UTCAt long last, there’s some good Bray Wyatt news.
Fightful has learned that Bray Wyatt is finally getting “closer” to clearance after almost six months without it. Wyatt has battled an illness that we won’t disclose, and the company and Wyatt have been taking extra precautions to make sure that his long-term health is accounted for. But there is some positive news.
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.
There were ideas for Wyatt to be integrated with Alexa Bliss, Eric Young and Uncle Howdy/Bo Dallas. However, after Bray Wyatt was sidelined, Alexa had maternity leave and Eric Young requested and was granted his WWE release.
Since publishing this article, it was confirmed to Fightful that the illness Bray was battling was both career and life threatening, but that he's improved significantly

You don't need to know that for any reasons

2023-08-13 19:58:47 +0000 UTCLiterally says his illness was career and life threatening... or is reading hard for you?

2023-08-11 22:52:55 +0000 UTCHopefully he can be back soon and not doing the same gimmick. Go back to cult leader Bray and actually wrestle. Hate the supernatural shit.
Dave Snell
2023-08-11 16:48:24 +0000 UTCBecause "career and life threatening" isn't too serious?
Nick Hawkins
2023-08-11 01:57:54 +0000 UTCYou speaking French? Who is the “we” who knew he had a life threatening illness?
Ronda Williams
2023-08-10 23:35:02 +0000 UTCI genuinely wish we knew what the illness in question was for research reasons, but either way, as long as he's happy and healthy by the end of it, I'm glad.

2023-08-10 23:31:49 +0000 UTCBray can be the best thing on television if they’d get out of the way and let him.

2023-08-10 21:56:46 +0000 UTCSince hearing about Pee Wee and Jamie Fox hiding their illnesses from the public I can respect the fact he wants to do the same. Hoping for the Jamie Fox outcome.

2023-08-10 21:10:44 +0000 UTCYou could’ve kept this in the drafts.

2023-08-10 21:10:00 +0000 UTCGreat to hear!
BG
2023-08-10 21:09:30 +0000 UTCI don’t care what anyone says, he’s one of my favorite wrestlers and the most creative minds out there. So sorry to hear he was battling with something life threatening, but this update is wonderful news. We want you back Bray! But come back healthy :)
Levent
2023-08-10 21:09:28 +0000 UTCTotally agree with you. I have no interest in the fiend. Just be Bray Wyatt and wrestle.

2023-08-10 20:56:32 +0000 UTCI’m in favor of bringing in joe gacy as a disciple for bray and howdy
Amay Sashital
2023-08-10 20:43:41 +0000 UTCIt's mysterious in the fact that it's not being disclosed; I get as the public we aren't entitled to know what it is however keeping it vague only adds to speculation of what it is only creates more stress to the situation.
DiscoDinomite
2023-08-10 20:21:43 +0000 UTCWow, this is terrible news. I was damn near certain that they were just making up an excuse to keep him off tv due to some creative or VKM issue. Sucks to hear he is actually battling a health issue for this long. I hope he gets better and does whatever he has to before returning.
Kyle Longwar
2023-08-10 20:13:56 +0000 UTCI would have him with Viking Raiders, switch up the whole presentation of them and just have a new Wyatt Family

2023-08-10 20:11:03 +0000 UTCDefine “news” in the Cross Heritage Dictionary, please.
Joseph Cloud
2023-08-10 20:08:13 +0000 UTCCool as long as he is healthy.
Tori Melching
2023-08-10 20:07:45 +0000 UTCWell, I’m glad I don’t know your husband, he seems incredibly uninformed.
Joseph Cloud
2023-08-10 20:07:16 +0000 UTCIt’s a weird position I’m in where on a human level I’m happy if his health is improving. However on a wrestling fan level, if he’s going to come back and continue where he left off creatively, or go back to being the Fiend I’m extremely unhappy about that and would not be looking forward to it at all. I’d be lying if I said I missed having Bray on TV since he’s been absent.
Cody
2023-08-10 19:59:34 +0000 UTCClearly by Sean’s wording it’s not a mystery to them. It’s just not being disclosed. Any number of things could fit that timeline for something as simple as mono to cancer.
Jared Robinovitz
2023-08-10 19:57:17 +0000 UTCGood for him. I just hope there’s a drastic creative shift for him if he comes back because if he comes back and starts doing the same awful crap he was doing before it’s gonna suck! I’d like to see him try to just wrestle.
Cody
2023-08-10 19:56:17 +0000 UTCThis is about as much news as news can get. It is also good news because I hope everyone in life is healthy.
Philip John Basile
2023-08-10 19:55:57 +0000 UTCI'm glad he's doing better however if it's taken this long to get "good news" on a mysterious illness should he really be comin back to wrestling? Clearly this in an unhealthy industry and dragging him back could only make things worse.
DiscoDinomite
2023-08-10 19:50:09 +0000 UTCGreat to hear I do like the current character Bray Wyatt plays as a man trying to fight his demons but the Uncle Howdy part doesn’t work for me. So I’d change that upon his return glad he’s nearing a return
Matt Hennessy
2023-08-10 19:47:39 +0000 UTCThis is, in fact, news.
Kris
2023-08-10 19:46:56 +0000 UTCThis is the biggest leap in the history of leaps.
Jonathan Newman
2023-08-10 19:44:42 +0000 UTCAwesome news can’t wait to see him back. Glad he’s feeling better!
Seth Leonhardt
2023-08-10 19:42:50 +0000 UTCThat’s not news. We’ve been knowing this forever. Watch when September comes then they’ll say oh he’s returning October.

2023-08-10 19:40:11 +0000 UTCHappy whatever was going on was not too serious. Hope he’s doing well.
Andrew Stadelberger
2023-08-10 19:39:31 +0000 UTCGlad he’s almost back, hope we get more backwoods Bray than goofy magic Bray.

2023-08-10 19:39:23 +0000 UTCGlad to hear he’s getting closer to being cleared!
