It’s time to buckle up as the mysterious masked man’s return is finally happening within a few hours from the LDLC arena in France. The highly hyped-up code drama reached the ultimate saturation point tonight during another exciting Backlash Go Home episode, leading fans to believe that Uncle Howdy is on his way to stepping back into the ring. While the codes that have been laid out in the past weeks carried mostly cryptic, vague hints, what came as a final hint of the real-life brother of the late superstar couldn’t be more direct. A head-on reference to Bo Dallas’ past WWE gimmick blew the fans off.
The May 3 episode of WWE SmackDown continued the persistent teasing game with another code popping up on the screen during the entrance of the LWO ahead of Angel’s match with LA Knight. The code initially took us to a rather flat promotional video for SmackDown upon scanning, only to give a darker jolt shortly after. The clip featured a line, ‘‘He opened his arms. Our pain became his. We were reborn. Because we believed”. Then the final word glitches that read ‘BOlieved’ spurned on the screen, taking us back straight to Bo Dallas’ early gimmick. The former NXT Champion played an obnoxious motivational guru as ‘BOLIEVE’ that still lingers in fans’ memory.

The commercial also showed a solitary woman in a candle-jammed room resembling the mysterious ‘Sister Abigail’ from Wyatt’s storyline.
Now, what can be a more nefarious intrigue ahead of B0 Dallas’s re-arrival alongside the stable? Fans had their intuition right on the place while waiting with bated breath for the momentous moment to come.
WWE fans ‘believe’ in the imminent Uncle Howdy’s supremacy ahead of Backlash
Before joining forces with Windham Rotunda as the iconic Uncle Howdy, Dallas used to dominate the ring as the ever-inspirational phenom. The most successful gimmick of the 33-year-old scored a series of wins and enforced sturdy authority inside the division before fading out around 2015. With the latest tease of the age-old character, fans seem more than convinced that the man behind ‘Bolieve’ is here to resume his mojo under the WWE ring,

A few fans, however, seem a little skeptical as it’s really tricky and sensitive to play on the storyline of Dallas without Bray Wyatt’s next-level brain involved in it. However, all they do is hope for a wholesome execution.
Lead in presentation and hype: great.
I am just worried that once we see the full scope of this project will it live up to that initial hype. Bo is good. Windham was good. I am settling early on the new Wyatt 6 are mid, but will be happy if final presentation is good.— Arkilyd (@arkilyd) May 3, 2024
