Uncle Howdy to Return? Fans Demand a Special Match to Pay Tribute to Bray Wyatt on WWE SmackDown: “Top Idea”

The entire wrestling world is still in a state of shock after receiving the horrific news of Bray Wyatt’s death last night. Fans are still grieving his loss and condolence messages keep pouring in from not just WWE superstars but rival promotion AEW as well.

With grief and shock resonating in the air, one fan has suggested an ultimate tribute for Bray Wyatt with the involvement of someone belonging to his family. A recent shocking revelation based on WWE 2K23 had a lot to do with it.

Fans suggest Bo Dallas lace up his wrestling boots for a tribute match dedicated to Bray Wyatt

Bo Dallas joined WWE in 2012 on NXT and had quite a successful stint till 2014. For a brief period, he also established his dominance in the promotion by reigning as the NXT champion for 280 days straight. Then he joined SmackDown and plied his trade at the prestige brand until 2021. But during this time, he never associated himself with the Wyatt family. Or so it appeared.

In December 2022, Bray Wyatt introduced a certain new eerie character named Uncle Howdy. It actually shocked fans when ‘Uncle Howdy’ attacked Wyatt on SmackDown right before the Royal Rumble PLE. He even made an appearance during Bray Wyatt’s final WWE match at Royal Rumble against LA Knight by jumping into Knight from an elevated platform almost 20 feet high.

Although Uncle Howdy’s identity was never revealed, curious fans made a shocking revelation in the game WWE 2K23. In it, they describe Uncle Howdy as having been a 1-time NXT champion for 280 days, the same duration as Bo Dallas. This got fans speculating that Dallas is indeed Uncle Howdy. This further led to fans talking about a possible tribute.

Keeping that in mind, one fan suggested that as a final tribute, Bo Dallas should return to SmackDown for one final match and reveal his true identity. He said, “I think WWE should let Uncle Howdy have an entrance on SmackDown, reveal himself as Bo Dallas and let him wrestle against whoever was closest to Bray backstage in the main event. That’s of course if Bo is emotionally ready to do so”.

This tweet apparently went viral and fans started giving their opinions on the same.

Fans love the idea of Bo Dallas giving his brother a final tribute in the ring

In spite of being in the same promotion as his brother, Bray Wyatt, Bo Dallas never wrestled in a match with him. Hence, fans feel this will be an apt tribute to the late wrestling superstar.

One fan pointed out the template already laid out by AEW when Brodie Lee passed away.

Some fans think Roman Reigns vs. Bo Dallas would be a great tribute match.

Some members of the WWE Universe loved the idea and even had their own creative spin attached to it.

Some fans also brought Wyatt’s iconic lantern into the picture.

One fan suggested that Dallas just coming and keeping his mask in the ring would be a respectful tribute. He said, “I could see him doing the entrance taking the mask off and leaving it in the ring with a lantern”.
