Bray Wyatt missed WWE Raw this week due to the ill health of his grandfather. He had been scheduled to be a big part of Raw, perhaps in a segment with Brock Lesnar, and his early departure resulted in the show being changed somewhat. His grandfather is Bob "Blackjack Mulligan" Windham and he has been in rough shape for quite a while. The 73 year old was hospitalised last June, and the sudden departure of Wyatt suggests he's taken a turn for the worst. Bray's brother, Bo Dallas and their father Mike Rotunda, who works for WWE in a producer role also flew back from Birmingham to Tampa. Lesnar did mention Wyatt in his opening promo, though, and that's the clear direction for WrestleMania. If he had been there, it is reasonable to guess that they may have had an interaction or brawl this week. Instead, The Beast focused on his rivalry with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, with the number one contender match at Fastlane just a few weeks away. The expected finish for that bout is Wyatt costing Lesnar, and the teases of The Beast versus The Game at WrestleMania are just designed to throw viewers off the obvious.
