Bray Wyatt lost to Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37 because of Alexa Bliss's distraction. He cut a promo on Bliss on the following RAW and vanished into thin air after that. While Bliss is a regular superstar on RAW and is currently feuding with Shayna Bazler, there is no word on when Bray Wyatt will return.

PWInisider noted several days ago that Wyatt has purposely not been used on RAW. The source stated that the rumors of him having heat backstage are not true.

Check out PWInsider's report below:

"We are told Wyatt has purposely been kept off TV. It is not a case of he has heat for anything as he is well liked. The Randy Orton match, we are told, went 100% exactly as planned."

#3 John Cena Sr.'s speculation on why Adnan Virk left RAW

Former lead announcer for RAW, Adnan Virk, left WWE just a few weeks after he started. The parting was said to be mutual as Virk found the travel schedule involved in the job too difficult.

John Cena Sr. recently stated on Boston Wrestling MWF’s Dan Mirade, that if WWE wanted Virk to succeed, he would have been sent to NXT first.

“If they really wanted him to succeed, they would have stuck him down in NXT. They would have had him work with some of the top men in the business, understand the professional wrestling business, and maybe six months or eight months from now put him on TV," said Cena Sr. "But they just took this man and threw him in the pool and said, ‘Swim.'"

Jimmy Smith has since replaced Adnan Virk as the new lead commentator on RAW. Unlike his predecessor, Smith has mostly received positive reviews for his work.
