WWE has a major Bray Wyatt problem

Bray Wyatt hasn't been seen on WWE TV in five months, and it has since been reported that the former world champion has been struggling with an illness.

This health issue meant he was forced to withdraw from his planned WrestleMania match against Bobby Lashley in April. Wyatt last wrestled in a televised bout at the 2023 Royal Rumble premium live event, defeating LA Knight in a Pitch Black Match.

Wyatt's in-ring future remains unclear amid his absence, but the company is now in a position where they could be forced to repackage Wyatt into The Fiend. The Eater of Worlds' storyline with Uncle Howdy wasn't able to draw much attention despite some high expectations from the angle.

Many fans have pushed for the return of The Fiend or even the reintroduction of the original Bray Wyatt character. But since the man himself cannot return at the moment, it's unclear what the future holds for the star.

There have been some surprising calls for Wyatt to be released in recent weeks, which shows how numerous fans have given up on the former champion despite him being viewed as one of the most creative wrestling minds of this generation.
