Bray Wyatt isn't currently listed on WWE's internal roster - but the former 'Fiend' is still with the promotion.

PWInsider Elite reported on Wyatt's status on Monday, noting that the former WWE and Universal Champion's name was nowhere to be found on the company's listings, having not wrestled since February.

Later, Fightful Select related that despite not being on the internal roster, Wyatt and Bo Dallas (the man behind Uncle Howdy) remain with WWE. Bray was omitted from the roster due to "injury", meaning the undisclosed illness that has kept him sidelined for the past few months, while Howdy's creative is on hold while his ally is out of action.

Wyatt had been hoping to return to the ring lately. Currently, though, there is no word on when he'll be back in WWE.

Bray's last televised match in WWE was the divisive Pitch Black clash with LA Knight at Royal Rumble 2023 (28 January). Much speculation has surrounded the 35-year-old in his absence, including talking of creative differences between Wyatt and WWE, though these are yet to be substantiated. For now, Wyatt remains sidelined through illness - but still contracted to WWE.
