"Not only is Wyatt getting closer to being cleared, but creative plans have begun to be pitched for the former WWE Champion, with September mentioned as a possible return."

Wyatt has been involved in the WWE for nearly a decade, becoming one of the most polarizing figures in the sport.

It appears that WWE is taking all the necessary precautions to ensure that Wyatt returns to the ring in total health, with some entertaining storylines to reel viewers back in.

Wyatt has demonstrated to be one of the biggest draws WWE has on its roster in recent years, and the organization will promote his return to action once he is back to full strength.
