Bray Wyatt's future has been in question ever since his release from WWE. The former Universal Champion is a free agent right now, and reports suggest he will be making his return to the ring soon.

On Sunday Night's Main Event, Dave Meltzer claimed Impact Wrestling were keen on signing Bray Wyatt. He added that AEW also believe they will be able to land him this summer.

IMPACT and AEW have a working relationship, and it would not be a surprise if Bray Wyatt signs a deal that lets him work for both companies. A return to WWE is all but ruled out right now, as reports suggest he 'butted heads' with Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn before the company released him. Here is what Cageside seats reported:

On The Ringer Wrestling Show, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. wouldn’t reveal everything he knows from friends backstage but did indicate Bray Wyatt butted heads creatively with Vince McMahon & Kevin Dunn before his release because Wyatt “wasn’t playing ball.”

Bray Wyatt was reportedly expected to make his in-ring return this month but was released by WWE instead.
