WWE has been on fire lately with a lot of intriguing affairs like the upcoming King and Queen of The Ring match card, the Dominik Mysterio-Liv Morgan kayfabe romance, and more consuming the entire focus of the fans. But the one thing that stands paramount in the lore is the mystery surrounding Uncle Howdy’s imminent return. After playing around for a while, the matter reached a boiling point tonight with an otherworldly persona hacking WWE’s Twitch stream on Thursday afternoon.
The latest ineludible clues contain the return tease of WWE Hall of Famer Kane to settle the dust of an 11-year-old rivalry.

Today on Twitch, Uncle Howdy alongside his family heavily cropped up, proving that the floppy disk timeline from last week’s QR code wasn’t hollow. The video started with Kane making a grand entry to the ring and a quick glance at some familiar images. After some initial seconds, the video took a brief pause showing an empty chair where the therapist from the newspaper clip that said a local woman was missing loomed large shortly after. It seemed she was talking to someone else sitting in another chair.
And the person was highly presumed to be either Uncle Howdy or any of his family members.
However, the Kane entrance link made enough sense as the Hall of Famer was Wyatt’s opponent after he and the Wyatt family members initiated an attack on their debut in the promotion. The rivalry culminated in Wyatt’s first single pay-per-view match in a Ring of Fire match during SummerSlam 2013. The outcome of the hard-hitting bout amounted to Kane getting decimated by Wyatt’s powerful family members.

When can Uncle Howdy and his squad make their presence known?
While a date overlapping with Kane’s roster prompted some fans to believe the event will take place on the same date as July 8 on Monday Night Raw or around the next SummerSlam, there is a high chance of WWE choosing the King and Queen of The Ring PLE as the ideal platform for the same. WWE has teased the event for a while. From pre-WrestleMania season to Backlash and beyond, Triple H has done almost everything he could to create sizzling hype. Social media teasers, live shows, and every other platform have been privy to regular teases and there’s very little left for any more experiments. So it will be wise for the creative to pull the rug right here without further overselling. And the Saudi Arabian PLE is the closest Premium Live Event that awaits.

On the top, introducing the late Bray Wyatt’s family drama to the PLE card added some much-needed layer of intrigue to the otherwise predicted storylines. Uncle Howdy’s grand return might be the perfect idea to dodge the mundane of a very obvious outcome of the champion vs champion match between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul.
Also, Jey Uso’ can be a perfect first target for Howdy, given his cryptic Fireflies tweet. What’s your take on Uncle Howdy taking over the Twitch platform on Thursday? Let us know in the comments.
