WWE Rumor Roundup: Big name to finally return at SummerSlam, truth about Bray Wyatt's alleged 'mental issues', 72-year-old to have a match after 10 years? (10th August 2021)

#4 Truth about Bray Wyatt's absence from WWE

Former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt was rumored to be battling mental health issues, which were responsible for him being absent from WWE after WrestleMania earlier this year.

Wyatt had not been seen since the RAW after WrestleMania and was set to return in August. However, WWE released The Fiend instead.

Fightful Select has reported that Wyatt was absent because of family engagements and reports claiming he had mental issues were false.

The report also said that Wyatt was 100% cleared to wrestle before he was released by WWE.

#3 Ric Flair to make an in-ring return after leaving WWE?

Ric Flair got his release from WWE last week. Booker T stated on his podcast Hall of Fame that Flair has told him that he isn't done with in-ring competition. A new photo of Ric Flair training in the gym has now added to speculation that the WWE Hall of Famer may be looking to step inside the ring one more time.

Here is what Booker T alleged:

''Now my thing is this, I talk to Ric Flair on a regular -- usually on a regular occasion," Booker T continued. "I don't know how often I'm going to see him now, but Ric Flair told me, he said, 'Book, I'm never going to retire.' He said, 'If I could be in that ring right now, that's where I'd be.''

He also stated that Ric Flair could be gearing up for an in-ring return. Flair had his last match in TNA in 2011 and would be returning to in-ring action after a gap of 10 years if the rumors are true.
