Top WWE Star Not Listed On Internal Roster

WWE

UPDATE – There has been an update on Wyatt’s WWE status following these reports, which you can read here.

With the 2023 WWE Draft now in the books, the Raw and SmackDown rosters are set for the next year.

While most WWE stars were assigned to either Raw or SmackDown, some names were drafted as ‘free agents’, while other names were not featured in the draft at all.

One of the more notable names not featured in the Draft was Bray Wyatt, who made his return to the company at the climax of last year’s Extreme Rules premium live event.

Wyatt has wrestled one televised match since his return to the company, the Mountain Dew Pitch Black match against LA Knight at the 2023 Royal Rumble event.

He has been missing from WWE television since February, where he began a feud with Bobby Lashley to set up a match between the two men at WrestleMania 39, which ultimately didn’t end up happening due to Wyatt being out with an illness.

In an update from PWInsider Elite (via WrestlePurists), Wyatt is not currently listed on any rosters internally in any fashion.

Fightful Select has also provided an update, stating that Wyatt is indeed still with WWE, and the reason he’s not listed on the roster is just because of his injury.

Another undrafted WWE star is listed on WWE’s internal rosters as part of the SmackDown brand, which you can see here.

Alexa Bliss, who was set to begin a story with Wyatt following her absence, has seemingly also been assigned to a brand despite not featuring in the Draft.
