Bray Wyatt was released by WWE last year. While the official reason given for the release was budget cuts, there has been a lot of speculation on why he was let go despite being a high merchandise seller. Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer Live reported that he had “an issue with being cleared” to compete, which was responsible for his release.

He also said that he doesn't know if WWE has been able to resolve the issue if they are planning his return. It is possible that it could be one of the factors causing a delay in the return of the former Universal Champion.

Fans were expecting him to return on this week's SmackDown, but it seems that they'll have to wait a bit longer.
