Bo Dallas is a former NXT Champion, and he had his own thing on the main roster without crossing paths with his brother, Bray Wyatt. Sadly, WWE never got to play out the entire intended direction for Bray Wyatt due to his untimely passing, but Uncle Howdy played by Bo Dallas was always part of the plan.

The Wyatt Sicks have taken over the scene in WWE, and many fans can’t wait for their next cryptic tweet. The faction is led by Uncle Howdy, as he can usually be found sitting in a rocking chair at ringside that was dragged there by Erick Rowan, just as he did during his time with the Wyatt Family.

During his Q&A podcast on Fightful Select, Sean Ross Sapp was asked whether the plan was always to have Bo Dallas step into the Uncle Howdy role from the very start. It turns out that this was always the plan, as they continued in Bray Wyatt’s original vision.

“He was always planned as Uncle Howdy and was the person set to portray the gimmick. There were some instances where a stand-in was used, but that was the first time around before Bray Wyatt’s untimely passing. The stand-in was never planned to be revealed and it was always set to be Bo Dallas to the best of my understanding.”

Uncle Howdy’s return to television was first teased during the closing moments of the Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal documentary. Since then, the Wyatt Sicks faction was introduced in a slow burn fashion, with teases and QR codes lighting up the internet wrestling community for weeks before their massacre finally started.

Prior to Bray Wyatt’s passing, teases of the Wyatt Sicks were seen in his creative. His name on Twitter was even changed to Wyatt6, which was a clear indication that this idea was already in the pipeline as well.

We will have to see what’s next for the Wyatt Sicks. They are obviously still going strong, and the faction is also full of Superstars who could certainly use this as a springboard to do even greater things in WWE.
