Kidd hasn’t produced for WWE since the January 14 episode of SmackDown. Various stars have praised Kidd’s production in the past, so him not being backstage, especially for the Royal Rumble, is certainly noteworthy.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful dove into the situation with Kidd a bit deeper on today’s edition of Fightful Select Q&A:

Is Tyson Kidd taking a break from WWE?

Sapp stated that it’s possible that Kidd could simply be taking time off from WWE right now due to burnout, but the underlying reasoning behind his current absence isn’t confirmed.

It was confirmed, however, that Natalya’s three-second loss to Aliyah during Kidd’s recent SmackDown appearance backstage as a producer had nothing to do with him being away from WWE.

What do you make of Tyson Kidd’s current WWE situation? Do you think he’ll return to the company soon? Let us know your thoughts by sounding off in the comments section below.
