A wrestler that fans loved and believed the WWE underutilized was Bray Wyatt. Debuting as a Southen Cult leader with his followers, he indeed had the whole wrestling world in his hands. Embodying the creepy and supernatural aura of The Undertaker, he was a breath of fresh air in the WWE. However, fans thought they had lost the last of the supernatural gimmicks in the WWE after his untimely passing. And then there was a Howdy.
Teased at the end of Wyatt’s Documentary, the WWE hinted that Uncle Howdy would be returning. Portrayed by Bo Dallas, he was to bring some company to the WWE. PWInsider recently posted that the new members of the Wyatt 6 would include Uncle Howdy, Nikki Cross, Eric Rowan, Joe Gacy, Alexa Bliss, and Lumis.
While fans were shocked to see his name associated with the family, his recent post on social media was another bolt. A hand-drawn picture of his face and his signature greeted fans.

If speculation is to be believed, all characters of the new Wyatt 6 are broken individuals. Each member is lost and searching for the light, which just so happens to be Uncle Howdy. The connection between Cross and Lumis was hinted back in 2022. With this being the storyline, fans have suspected Matt Hardy to be returning with his Broken gimmick.
While the veteran has not confirmed or denied the claims, fans are interested in how the WWE handles this storyline. Many believe Hardy will be with Howdy, guiding the new flock of sheep. However, many believe he might be brought back as a savior to delete the character of Howdy. Regardless of which angle the WWE decides to take, fans are excited. The constant use of cryptic QR codes and short videos has built the anticipation very well. What are your thoughts on Lumis?
