Bray Wyatt can never be back in the ring, but his brother Bo Dallas can. While the notion first emerged from the Wyatt newly minted Bray Wyatt documentary where Bo Dallas’ return is hinted at through a surreal lantern reference, it has been sowed deep into the fore by the former tag team champion’s tonight’s tribute to their late brother. Fans flocked to Twitter to capitalize on the tease.
Will Bo Dallas’ WWE return be a salve to Bray Wyatt’s absence?
Two important flag bearers of the Wyatt family’s legacy, Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda, were slated to get into the WWE Hall of Fame from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the night preceding WrestleMania XL. Former WWE superstar Bo Dallas and his sister Mika Rotunda were there to induct their uncles to the highest honor of the promotion. But he didn’t just do that obvious task at hand. He took a moment to acknowledge his late brother with the crowd showing their unbridled emotion by holding their phones’ flashlights up. The whole thing was a jaw-dropping recreation of his Firefly funhouse promos.

Dallas was written off from the WWE programming back in 2020 while his official appearance in the WWE fold dates back to 2019. It’s been a few years, but fans could hardly let go of the heroic mystic of Uncle Howdy. The eccentric alter-ego of Bray Wyatt raised a lot of fantasy and controversy before disappearing out of a sudden. So, does this tease mean a rebirth of the enigmatic figure, or at least the return of Bo Dallas in any other form? Fans keep their fingers crossed regardless of the answer.
WWE fans yearn for Bo Dallas’ much-awaited return
In the ‘Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal’ documentary’, Bo Dallas recently revealed that he returned to WWE in 2022 to reignite his childhood brotherly bond with Bray Wyatt. The 33-year-old dubbed his run alongside his brother as the highlight moment of his entire wrestling career. So, it won’t be absurd if he ends up bringing back the compelling illusion of Uncle Hardy to relive the memories.
That Bo Dallas return to the ring is gonna be fucking emotional man, I ain’t ready 😢

A few fans, on the other hand, preferred a separate run for Bo Dallas rather than the revival of Uncle Howdy.
I know the supernatural stuff isn’t everyone’s favorite gimmick.
I just hope Bo Dallas, upon return, gets full creative to continue Bray’s legacy & blaze his own path. #WWEHOF

Another group of fans possess the same sort of wish.
If not as the Uncle Howdy character, I would 100% want to see Taylor Rotunda (Bo Dallas for those who don’t know) make his return

One of the fans even longs to see the Wyatt family legacy on WrestleMania.
