Bray Wyatt’s absence from WWE’s highly-anticipated Madison Square Garden event has raised eyebrows among fans and critics alike. The Eater of Worlds was scheduled to face LA Knight in a highly-anticipated matchup but was replaced without any clear explanation. However, recent reports suggest there may be more to this story than meets the eye.
According to Ringside News, Bray Wyatt is currently dealing with a physical issue that has forced him out of action. Despite this setback, insiders note that the WWE is working hard to ensure that he will still be able to participate in WrestleMania – the biggest event of the year for WWE fans.
Behind the scenes, Bray’s absence has been felt by creative teams as well. While his signature “Uncle Howdy” materials have continued to be sent to the site of Smackdown, he has not been scheduled to appear on the show’s last two episodes. Similarly, he is not currently scheduled to appear on Raw this week.
As the road to WrestleMania continues, it remains to be seen how Bray’s absence will affect his chances in the ring. However, one thing is clear: he is eager to get back to action and make an impact in his upcoming match against Bobby Lashley at SoFi Stadium. With his eyes on the prize, fans can rest assured that Bray will do everything he can to make it to the big show.
WWE sources familiar with the situation who have worked with Wyat claim to Fightful that Bray Wyatt is currently sidelined with a “physical issue,” and they’re not sure on a return time as of now. There had been rumors that Wyatt had walked out due to creative issues, but thus far we haven’t gained any information that would confirm that, and haven’t been told that from anyone in the company thus far.
Bray Wyatt had been slated for other live events and episodes of Smackdown, but was pulled from those due to the physical issues WWE sources claim. However, even though he’d been sidelined, Bobby Lashley continued the feud without Bray Wyatt being there, including last week in a backstage segment. As of one point this weekend, Lashley wasn’t scheduled for Raw.
