For the past few weeks, several QR codes have made their appearance on WWE programming. And they all hint toward the formation of a new faction that will be led by none other than the returning Uncle Howdy.
This new faction supposedly consists of superstars that the WWE has already cherry-picked. The faction aims to continue the legacy left behind by Bray Wyatt. And now, we finally have a major update as to when the faction will make its debut appearance. Guess what? It’s going to be in a segment, and that too really soon.
In the latest update provided by renowned pro wrestling journalism platform PWInsider the Wyatt 6 members will make their first appearance in the upcoming edition of Monday Night Raw.

As they wrote, “PWInsider.com has been told by multiple sources that the group was slated to film vignettes this week in advance of their unveiling, which may come as soon as this Monday. As PWInsider.com has previously reported, the group is currently planned to consist of: Bo Dallas, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacey, and Erick Rowan. Whether some of them will be portraying new personas, we have yet to 100% confirm.”

For now, since the sinister group has not made its debut on television, there are very few details available about the creative direction. Speculation suggests that the promotion could retread the stories and characters unveiled by the Eater of Worlds. We do know that Erick Rowan has signed a new contract with WWE in May 2024 after leaving the promotion during the pandemic cuts in 2020. The former Wyatt family member has a deep connection with the late star and could don the infamous sheep mask to wreak havoc under the mantle of Uncle Howdy.
Alexa Bliss has also not been seen on WWE programming since her last appearance in early 2023. Post the joyous news of her pregnancy, she is ready to return to the fold amid rumors that she could aid Howdy just as she did Wyatt. Interestingly, a segment brewed between Bliss and Howdy last year where the latter questioned the former about her autonomy over proceedings. Bliss could now prove her devotion to the cause by aligning herself with the new stable.
Meanwhile new alleged entrants such as Joe Gacy, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis all carry a mystique and eeriness that is typically recorded in the otherworldly creations of Bray Wyatt. We will have to wait and see the direction the promotion points the new stable to as they aim to get their claws into the realm of WWE

However, one thing is for sure. The promotion will take cues from the Universe that Bray Wyatt established in his last few years in the Stamford-based promotion. But it will be most interesting to see if the WWE Universe would accept the group. And actually, give the faction a chance, especially when we are aware of the fact that Bray’s brother, Bo Dallas, will lead it.
One of Howdy’s latest clues also hinted at this debut date. As in a recent hack made by the sinister leader of the faction, one could find a message from the mysterious character on the WWE website. But if the URL of the website is read backward, it appears to be a date. And not just any other date, but specifically June 17. So what do you think? Will the faction be making their presence known in the upcoming RAW? And will Uncle Howdy be able to match the legacy left behind by Wyatt? Let us know in the comments.
