Uncle Howdy has been the mysterious force introduced to the WWE landscape by the late Bray Wyatt in 2022.
The sight of Bray Wyatt’s return back in WWE Extreme Rules 2022 set in motion an array of mysterious events in the company. This led to Wyatt aligning himself with a masked figure named Uncle Howdy, who was revealed to be his younger brother, Bo Dallas in his documentary, Bray Wyatt: Being Immortal.
While their stint together was cut short due to Wyatt’s ailing health and subsequent passing, WWE has set another mystery in motion through screen glitches and QR Codes to reintroduce him to the WWE Universe as per multiple reports and speculations. So before he unravels himself, here is the full story of Uncle Howdy:
Uncle Howdy’s arrival
Right after Bray Wyatt returned to WWE in 2022, he found himself haunted by a mysterious force signaling their arrival to the WWE landscape. A few weeks later, it was revealed to be a dark masked figure, coined the name ‘Uncle Howdy’ who would lure in the shadows before making his striking impact on the fans.
Vendetta Against Bray Wyatt
After Uncle Howdy was unveiled to the WWE fans, to their shock, he targeted the man that people thought was his ally, Bray Wyatt while also getting involved in the latter’s feud with LA Knight. However, his true allegiance was revealed during their Pitch Black Match at the 2023 Royal Rumble when he dived off a platform onto LA Knight.
His twisted intentions aligned with Wyatt who would make continuous appearances together and set sights on their last target together, Bobby Lashley who was rumored to be Bray’s opponent for WrestleMania 39.
Going after Alexa Bliss
Beyond his motives regarding an alliance with Bray Wyatt, Uncle Howdy began targeting a former ally from Bray’s dark past, Alexa Bliss. The latter would torment Bliss who seemingly had left her dark roots in the past during her feud with Bianca Belair on RAW. However, before any culmination point could have been reached, Bliss left WWE television due to her pregnancy, and the storyline was left untouched.
Reintroduction
After Bray Wyatt’s passing and the conclusion of WrestleMania 40, WWE Universe was treated with deliberate screen glitches and QR codes, with hints pointing towards the return of Bo Dallas under his Uncle Howdy gimmick. Moreover, it was a similar fashion to how WWE built up to Wyatt’s second coming at WWE Extreme Rules 2022.
Furthermore, there have been speculations regarding a force of underutilized WWE stars under the leadership of Uncle Howdy to debut soon. With the mystery unraveling by the week, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Howdy and his faction are reintroduced to the fans in a way no one would have anticipated.
