On The Mend: More Details On Bray Wyatt's WWE Absence

That’s a problem. We are less than two weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and the card is mostly set. However, in addition to everything that is already announced for the show, there are some more people who need something officially set. Some of those matches can be easy to figure out, but there is one that is in a bit of doubt due to the health status of one of the wrestlers.

Last month, a match between Bray Wyatt and Bobby Lashley had been hinted at, but nothing was ever officially announced. Wyatt has since been missing from the last few weeks of WWE television due to some sort of medical situation. According to Dave Meltzer on Sunday Night’s Main Event, Wyatt is suffering from some form of an illness. It was also noted that Wyatt is absolutely still with WWE despite rumors of him quitting. Wyatt’s logo did appear in a backstage segment but was not acknowledge by commentary. There is no word on when Wyatt will return to television or if the match with Lashley is still a possibility.

These are two strong forces. Check out Wyatt and Lashley on their own and together:

Opinion: This makes more sense, though the question now is how long Wyatt will be out. The match itself is not hard to put together as the foundation has already been laid out, but at some point Wyatt has to be around to make it work. In theory he can be back by WrestleMania, but WWE is running out of time to be able to make anything official, especially with Wyatt not around.
