Fans finally got to see Bray without Bray, as Uncle Howdy made his much-anticipated return on WWE’s Monday Night Raw. A gory tribute to the deceased wrestler Bray Wyatt, the Wyatt Sick6 delivered everything they promised, while also marking the occasion for Bo Dallas’ return. Leaving crew members and Chad Gable beaten and passed out, the meticulously planned debut works its magic. But it seems every coin has two sides.
A clip of the final moments of the Wyatt 6 segment on Raw has been surfacing on social media. This clip recorded from a fan’s perspective showed a slip-up that you probably missed while watching the segment because the camera hid it so well.
Uncle Howdy nearly jeopardized the return

The segment began with Sister Abigail (Nikki Cross) walking on fours, coming up to the lamp placed on the ramp, standing up, and pointing to the backstage entrance. The camera followed her finger only to come across the Ramblin Rabbit (Erick Rowan), Mercy The Buzzard (Dexter Lumis), Huskus the Pig (Joe Gacy), and Bo Dallas. The riveting segment ended with every member following Uncle Howdy into the arena and standing in an intimidating formation.
“We’re here,” said Dallas in a booming voice before he picked up the lantern to turn it off. However, Dallas accidentally shoved Lumis’ face, moving his mask. This prompted the latter to adjust it to avoid any public slip-ups.

The original segment video hid the moment pretty well because of the camera placement and angle. However, this new perspective shows the hilarious botch. Although the stable probably had a good laugh about this backstage, it could have been embarrassing if Lumis hadn’t caught his mask and held it in place.
However, this wasn’t the only supposed error during the segment, as Bully Ray pointed out another shortcoming in a podcast appearance.
Uncle Howdy’s voice discussed on the show
After the electrifying return of the Wyatt 6 in WWE, Bully Ray sat down in a Busted Open Podcast episode and talked about the segment. The wrestling legend did not have any complaints about it as such. However, the ending didn’t satisfy him. The buildup to the climax part of the promo conveyed the creepiness in spades, but when Uncle Howdy announced his return to the world, the voice didn’t quite satisfy Ray.
“I’m watching all of these characters and then I hear the voice of what sounded like a normal person. So that kind of threw me off just a little bit,” the ex-WWE star said. Every member of the stable present at the moment had donned scary attires and had made their point by wreaking havoc on the WWE roster. However, when Uncle Howdy left the two-word message, Ray could hear Bo Dallas, who was behind the mask all along. While not everyone would mind this, it can be considered a botch for others.

On the other hand, Mike Rotunda couldn’t be more proud. Taking to Instagram, she wrote, “Last night, Taylor debuted for the first time as Uncle Howdy, without Windham. This was their dream, their vision. Their fairytale to fulfill. He carried this on his back. But more importantly in his heart. As siblings, we’ve always had a strong cord attachment to one another. As the lights when out in the arena and I watched from my TV, my pulse raised. My eyes welled. I felt every ioata with him. While also feeling this warmth, that can only be described as Windham. I’m so incredibly proud of Taylor.”
