WWE superstar still not cleared for in-ring return ahead of SummerSlam 2023

As WWE builds up its storylines for SummerSlam 2023, a top superstar remains on the promotion’s injury list. It is none other than Bray Wyatt, whose status has become a major concern for the promotion. Wyatt has remained absent from WWE since February 2023 due to an undisclosed illness. 

Wyatt was involved in a feud with Bobby Lashley in a plot that included Uncle Howdy (seemingly played by Bo Dallas) and Alexa Bliss. In the meantime, his injury led to everyone else in the storyline being shelved ahead of WrestleMania 39. Moreover, Bobby Lashley has also strangely remained absent from WWE TV.

It is worth noting that Bray Wyatt returned to the promotion in October 2022 and wrestled LA Knight at the 2023 Royal Rumble.
