There have been numerous hints about the return of Uncle Howdy and the Bray Wyatt universe. In fact, Uncle Howdy, accompanied by other superstars, could make his first appearance on the schedule on Monday Night Raw after several months of speculation. As it has been hinted all along, he will be joined by the Wyatt 6. Namely, Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and possibly Alexa Bliss. However, it seems like there is a major change taking place in the faction. One of the members might have been removed from the group by the WWE creatives.

But who is the member? Well, it is Joe Gacy. Though all the members haven’t been confirmed yet for the faction, several outlets reported that it would be the aforesaid names who would be joining Uncle Howdy and the Bray Wyatt Universe. However, according to Sean Ross Sapp, it seems like Joe Gacy is joining the ‘would or would not join’ list alongside Alexa Bliss.

A few days ago, PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that members of the Uncle Howdy faction have been recording vignettes this week in preparation for their first official appearance, which could take place as soon as next Monday, June 17. While many expected that it would be all the aforementioned stars being a part of the faction, Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp revealed that it is possible that Joe Gacy might not be a confirmed part of the group.

Johnson stated, “We have heard Bo Dallas, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, all expected to be a part of the group. Now I saw people go, “What about Alexa and Joe Gacy?” Possibly. I don’t know. Just, I have heard those four names. The other two I have heard speculated. And again, that’s why we put with additional pieces that we haven’t quite confirmed.”

What is the plan for Joe Gacy?

After The Schism disintegrated due to The Dyad’s departure from the company, Joe Gacy was supposed to receive new creative plans in the WWE. According to BWE, the wrestling promotion was considering having him on the main roster. As a result, the company was dedicating more time and resources to those that they believed could have an immediate impact if they were promoted to Raw or SmackDown. And Joe Gacy was named as one of the next beneficiaries of this strategy.

However, as we all know now, that did not happen. But finally, the WWE can give him the much-awaited push by making him a part of the faction.

As for Uncle Howdy, the WWE’s current plan is that Uncle Howdy’s faction will be presented with more realistic elements. Moving a little further away from the supernatural. In WWE, they have been preparing everything related to this faction and believe that it can work in current wrestling.

So we can expect the Stamford-based promotion to blow our minds away by pushing the boundaries of creativity. What do you think? Will Gacy be a part of the faction? Let us know in the comments.

UPDATE: On Monday Night Raw, Uncle Howdy made a comeback to WWE. After the lights went out, the camera spotted a woman walking onto the ramp. Post this, fans saw a backstage scene where WWE superstars were laid out in carnage. Three people stood over them. Then finally, Uncle Howdy walked out of the darkness and into the crowd with his people. “We’re here,” they exclaimed, and the lantern blew out. 

After this, Joe Gacy took to X to share an image of the group with the caption “We’re here”. Does this confirm his involvement?
