Uncle Howdy has officially kick-started the ‘massacre’ that WWE has been teasing so far through QR codes and the Archive Recovered pages. Although the storyline that they will follow is still a mystery, their entry was as impactful as ever. On Monday Night Raw 06/17, fans saw the Wyatt 6 officially return to the Stamford-based company, bringing the scary and creepy vibe back. Not only was the Wyatt 6 return exciting for fans to witness, but it was more detailed than what the viewers must have noticed in the beginning.
During the massacre scene on Raw when the five members of the Wyatt 6 were revealed, Erick Rowan‘s character had an interesting story behind him. When he was standing with his back facing the camera, viewers could see Luke Harper‘s old mask stuck to the back of his vest as a tribute to their time as The Bludgeon Brothers. Moreover, Rowan’s character last night wore a worn-out bunny mask, which could also be a callback to the Ramblin Rabbit who was smashed by Bray Wyatt in one of his creations.

The thing that hooked most of the fans was the hammer that Rowan was holding at the time. It was a big sledgehammer with “help” written on the head of the tool. This was yet another throwback to the time when he used to work with Harper as a tag team. Fans were also sensitive to this detail.
WWE Universe gets emotional over Uncle Howdy’s return segment detail
Although the entire segment was memorable, this one emotional detail was interesting to several wrestling fans when they finally noticed it online. Many social media users noticed it quickly and took to their X account to write a thoughtful RIP to the late wrestler. This was a big moment for Rowan to pay tribute to his old friend and thus many veteran WWE watchers felt emotional thinking about the time the two friends were together.
Both Bray and Brodie would be so happy to witness this. May they Rest in Peace. ❤️
