WWE: Sean Ross Sapp debunks head-scratching Bray Wyatt rumour ahead of return

This was based on the statement that was released when the former WWE Champion’s departure was announced, which stated that Bray Wyatt had been cut, rather than The Fiend or Windham Rotunda.

Sapp explained that the release was 100% legitimate and not part of a storyline, so if Bray does come back this weekend, it will be under a new contract.
