superstar Bray Wyatt is reportedly getting closer to a return.
The former world champion hasn’t been seen on screen for six months after his rivalry with Bobby Lashley – which was set to culminate at WrestleMania in April – was .
There has been no official word from Bray or WWE regarding his status or the reason for his lengthy absence, but there have been reports he is dealing with an unspecified illness.

‘The Hawaiian shirt Bray, who he was, he can’t be without Brodie, to me,’ he told Ryan Satin on . ‘I can’t be that without Brodie, it’s just not the same, it’s disrespectful to my best friend.’
