Daniel Bryan:

WWE have confirmed officially that Daniel Bryan has been given the weekend off from the live tour after the death of his Father. He has been offered the chance to stay at home until Extreme Rules, and was written out with an injury on Raw to cover his absence, however FW4 are reporting that he plans to be back in action on next weeks Raw. Word from WWE would suggest otherwise, the company say Stephanie McMahon will make an on screen apology to Bryan for his injury, suggesting he won't be there in person to accept it.

Bray Wyatt:

Despite the ever growing fan popularity of Bray Wyatt, WWE will not turn him face any time soon, they do not want the Wyatt's and The Shield on the same side of the face / heel divide, so until the Shield split, and re-turn heel (Bar Roman, who will break away to feud with Hunter) the Wyatt's will still be bad.
