WWE is yet to pull the trigger on Bo Dallas' expected return to the promotion but even in his brother's absence, Bray Wyatt still had family with him for last Friday's SmackDown.

Fightful Select reports that Wyatt's partner, JoJo Offerman, was at the show - though there is no suggestion that she is heading back to the promotion.

Wyatt and Offerman announced in April that they were engaged to be married. The couple have been together since at least 2017, when it was revealed they had been dating since meeting in WWE, and have two children together: a son, Knash, born in May 2019, and their daughter Hyrie, who entered the world in May 2020.

Quietly released from WWE in 2021, Offerman hadn't been used in a regular onscreen role by the promotion since 2018. She had been with the promotion 2013, working primarily as a ring announcer.

Wyatt, meanwhile, is back amongst WWE's foremost headline-makers, having returned at Extreme Rules 2022 on 8 October. The former WWE and Universal Champion had been out of the market-leading company since his shocking release in July 2021. SmackDown was his first in-person appearance on WWE television since then.
