Is Uncle Howdy the key to Bray Wyatt's resurgence in WWE? What are your thoughts?

Ever since their debut as the Wyatt Sicks, fans have been trying to decode everything about Uncle Howdy and his new stable. Each week on Monday Night Raw, we catch a little glimpse of the faction, either through VHS promo or their short live segment in the arena. Last time on Raw, we saw both a VHS promo and also the Wyatt Sicks present live in the ring.

When they stepped in front of the audience to protect Bo Dallas from the ‘false prophet’ that he had seemingly been after, all of them assembled in the squared circle around him. This is when a fan noticed something interesting about them.

Will Uncle Howdy’s friends’ identity be revealed soon?

It appears that we will be getting a VHS tape for everyone, officially revealing their backstory and connection to Uncle Howdy, while also confirming the gimmick they are playing. So far, the characters in Wyatt Sicks appear to be some characters from the Firefly Fun House lore. This hasn’t been confirmed, but a fan on X recently pointed out some details. The viewer explained how they noticed two things about Dexter Lumis‘ character. First, he is wearing a shirt inside that seems to be the life-size version of what Mercy the Buzzard used to wear as a puppet. Secondly, there are also ‘eyes’ present on the knuckles of his gloves.

Apart from this, Erick Rowan‘s shirt is ripped off, showing red fabric underneath which could be a PG-approved way of showing flesh. At last, the fan pointed out how Nikki Cross‘ mask has puppet linings on either side of her mouth, showing a similarity to the Abby the Witch puppet that they had over at the Fun House.

It seems that we may have to wait for the upcoming episodes to see what each wrestler is supposed to represent.

What’s your perspective on:

Have an interesting take?

Who could be Uncle Howdy’s next guest in the VHS promo?

There are still three individuals that could be featured in the next promo. The last two members of the stable talked about grief that stems from the loss of a loved one. However, not everyone shares the same kind of pain. In fact, Bully Ray believes that if Nikki Cross is given a VHS promo, it will be a great narrative for people and some may even relate to her struggles. Although Ray never said anything about her being the next individual for ‘the talk’ with Uncle Howdy, the uniqueness in her story may help connect more fans to her story, setting a compelling narration and empathy for the ‘broken’ members.

On the Busted Open Podcast, Bully Ray mentioned how Cross has been through body image issues in the past. So, her promo can be about the dysmorphia she faced when she was still going through it, maybe not feeling accepted by the world, and rejecting herself. This is where Uncle Howdy could have come in to ‘save’ her and offer a helping hand by making her join other forgotten and overlooked talents. If we are to see more of the Wyatt Sicks during the coming Monday Night Raw, you better get ready for some more details getting deciphered by fans using interesting theories.

What are your thoughts on the gimmicks so far? Do you agree with the theory discussed above?
