WWE superstar Bray Wyatt has been absent from WWE for a long time, leading to speculations about his return. Fans last saw him on the 27th edition of Monday Night RAW. The Eater of World had faced quite a lot of injuries prior to his absence, including a broken finger. However, the main reason behind his absence was unknown until now.
Bray Wyatt has been one of the most polarizing figures in WWE for the last decade. A lot of fans believed that with a push and proper booking, Wyatt could become one of the company’s top stars. And that proved to be true, for a while at least when Wyatt adopted The Fiend persona. He was once the most popular star due to his newfound personality, which was universally loved by fans. However, that didn’t last for long as he was fired from WWE in 2021, and when he came back, his character wasn’t that much popular with fans anymore.
Bray Wyatt inching closer to return
The Eater of Worlds has been absent from WWE Television for several months now. However, according to recent reports, he might be itching closer to making his return. According to Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful Select, Bray Wyatt is considered to be closer on making his return to the ring. The report also states that Wyatt has been dealing with an undisclosed illness for months.
It’s been reported by Fightful that Bray Wyatt has been dealing with an illness that was both "career and life threatening."

Apparently WWE Management has also been closely working with Wyatt to make sure that his long-term health is stable and are being cautious so as to not put the star in any potential danger. Other sources claim that while Wyatt is not really making his return anytime soon, WWE has been tossing around ideas for his return. This is definitely a good news for his fans, as this confirms that we may see The Eater of Worlds sooner than we think. However, these plans depend on Wyatt’s health.
Wyatt reportedly dealing with “career and life-threatening” illness
The report from Fightful Select has also stated that Wyatt has been dealing with an illness that is both “career and life threatening”. However, the WWE superstar is apparently itching closer to making his return to the squared circle. WWE Management want to make sure that Wyatt is in good condition when he eventually makes his return and have been considering his health as a top priority.
Bray Wyatt has been out of action since February 2023. At the time, he was feuding with The Almighty Bobby Lashley. Despite not sharing the ring, the two superstars had an on-screen rivalry. They were also teasing a reunion between Wyatt and Alexa Bliss at some point. However, all these plans were scrapped when Wyatt went out of action. As a result, both Wyatt and Lashley missed out on WrestleMania 39.
Bray Wyatt is one of WWE’s most popular superstars, even overtaking Roman Reigns and The Bloodline as the top merchandise seller. This was an impressive feat, considering The Bloodline storyline has been the talk of the wrestling industry for 3 years now. Fans wish Wyatt a speedy recovery and hope to see him in action soon.
