It’s been a long time since Uncle Howdy and Wyatt Sicks made any appearances on WWE television. The fearsome faction, alongside their leader, was feuding with Karrion Kross and the Final Testament stable on RAW before they were drafted to SmackDown as part of the first-ever transfer window.
WrestleMania 41 is upon us, and the Stamford-based promotion has begun building the card for the showcase of immortals. That said, Wyatt Sicks fans have been eagerly anticipating the return of the bizarre stable.
Bo Dallas is the man behind Uncle Howdy’s mask. In a shocking twist, the 34-year-old superstar could retire Howdy’s character and resurrect the iconic gimmick of his late brother Bray Wyatt, The Fiend.
Repackaging The Fiend would be a massive move that could change the game for Wyatt Sicks. The heel faction has faced significant struggles to gain the popularity that management anticipated.
That said, the proposed storyline is fantasy-booked and will be interesting to witness when Uncle Howdy and his faction return to SmackDown.
SmackDown star opens up about playing Uncle Howdy in WWE
Bo Dallas plays the fearsome gimmick of Howdy, while speaking on the HEADLOCK Wrestling Podcast, the SmackDown superstar shared his experiences of playing Uncle’s character on screen. Here’s what he had to say:
“Oh, for sure. This has always been the stuff that I’ve liked, and my brother [Bray Wyatt]. We’ve always been intrigued with the different, the odd, eerie parts of the world, scary stuff and I never got the opportunity to do that. We kind of both, go went down different lanes, and now I got this chance. I always saw what Windham [Bray Wyatt] was doing, and that’s the stuff that both of us like but I was not in that. I didn’t have the opportunity to do that. Now that I do, like I said, I feel like a little kid playing and I still feel like I have my brother with me,” he said.
It will be interesting to see when Dallas and his faction return on WWE TV, and if the company has plans to reintroduce The Fiend character.
