Uncle Howdy’s intense interviews on RAW continue to make rounds all over the wrestling world. The closing part of the VHS tape concluded with the two figures amalgamated into one. And it made fans realize that WWE sketched the same Bray-Wyatt-The Fiend dynamic with Bo Dallas and Uncle Howdy. Previously, we have seen the late Bray Wyatt seamlessly sliding into the shoes of his alter ego, The Fiend. While the redemption of the split personality theory added a certain layer of thrill to the storyline, it doesn’t answer the most obvious question.
Who will be the next victim of the vicious group? Dave LaGreca from the Busted Open Radio podcast seemed to have figured out the plan. The huge massacre on the Wyatt 6 debut night sent chills through our spines with a plethora of superstars lying bruised and bloodied. Gunther and Chad Gable were among the superstars who were on the receiving end of the punishment. But one thing that we didn’t realize was why the Alpha Academy leader invited the wrath of Howdy.
However, during the last cryptic interview week, Bo Dallas spilled the reason: he despises individuals who leverage their families to elevate their status. “They wanted to forget about me. They wanted to forget about all of us,” Dallas told his alter-ego. Speaking directly to Howdy, he added, “We made them remember. We made them all remember,” and Uncle Howdy replied, “Yes, we did,” referring to the massacre on last week’s RAW.

Now, if we look around for other traitorous family members in the house, Jey Uso emerges first as a notable name. Uso also rubbed Howdy the wrong way, claiming the proprietorship of fireflies. Despite receiving the seal of approval from Bray Wyatt’s sister for a thoughtful tribute, Wyatt’s brother might not forgive as easily. That said, Jey Uso later initiated damage control by returning the fireflies. “I don’t want no smoke with that. For all I care, they can have the fireflies back, you know what I’m saying? I want no problem with them,” he said after Wyatt 6’s RAW debut.
However, that might not suffice as he could still land in the bad books of Howdy and Wyatt 6. Referencing Dallas’ comments about family legacy, Dave LaGreca revealed he was reminded of The Bloodline and the conflict surrounding the situation. He said, “It’s not out of the realm of possibility… Maybe that’s a seed that’s been planted that, at some point, that could be a road they go down, especially with Jey Uso because Chad Gable mentioned the Fireflies with Jey Uso early in that show last night.”
Chad Gable told Uso last night, “You took it upon yourself. You stole the fireflies,” perpetuating that the Wyatt 6 would be coming for him next. Soon after, as Gable encountered members of Wyatt 6, Uso was nowhere to be found. Turns out, he was hiding under the stage in fear, and came out only after Uncle Howdy & Co. left. In fact, he was even heard asking fans, “[Are] they gone?”

That said, Jey Uso is not the only Bloodline-related star that stands on the threshold of an assault.
Will Solo Sikoa be the next to be struck by Uncle Howdy’s ferocity?
Solo Sikoa took the chair of The Bloodline in an unceremonious SmackDown edition. He brought in a series of young forces – Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu – into the team to usher in a new age of The Bloodline. The self-acclaimed Tribal Chief could aim to take back his righteous control of the faction upon his return. Wrestling fans anticipate Roman Reigns doing everything in his power to strike down the disobedient and pave the way for a babyface turn.

So, what can be the more apt instances of those “false prophets belittling their family for their own games” than Solo Sikoa? Perhaps instead of Reigns seeking out the help of The Usos and Sami Zayn, the Wyatt 6 could help him exact retribution as they lay down the law of the land. It will be interesting to see if Uncle Howdy goes after Sikoa, Uso, or any other star, putting the Bloodline clash theory to rest.
