Update On Bray Wyatt's Injury
How much time will the Wyatt Family leader miss?
Last week, WWE superstar Bray Wyatt suffered a mid-match injury to his right calf, forcing the stoppage of a bout against Roman Reigns in Milan.
Now, The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Wyatt's injury was actually a pulled muscle, and that he should be back in action in four to six weeks.
The Wyatt-Reigns bout was the main event of the first show on WWE's European tour, which has already been plagued by the losses of advertised stars Daniel Bryan and The Undertaker. About two minutes into the bout, Wyatt fell down, clutching his leg. He tried to continue the match, but was unable to walk and needed to be helped to the back. He was subsequently pulled from the rest of the tour and sent home to recuperate.
Wyatt's prognosis is very fortunate, given that the incident appeared to be more serious when it first occurred and that WWE's roster has already been ravaged by injury. Between the losses of John Cena, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, and more, and Wyatt's recent face turn, many had hoped he would finally have the opportunity to emerge as a main-event player. Thankfully, he should be back in action and ready to give it his best shot before long.
The Observer is also reporting that the planned Wyatt Family-League of Nations match at Payback is off the card.
