Is Uncle Howdy the game-changer WWE needs, or just another gimmick destined to flop?

During the July 29 episode of Monday Night Raw, the Creed Brothers defeated Otis and Akira Tozawa in a tag team match. After the match, Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers attacked Otis. Maxxine Dupri tried to intervene, even slapping Gable. At this moment, Wyatt Sicks appeared in the ring. Three group members removed their masks, revealing themselves as Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, and Joe Gacy.

Then they attacked the Creed Brothers. Soon after the attack, the official in-ring debut of Wyatt Sicks was announced. It will take place in the next episode of Raw on August 5. Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, and Erick Rowan will face Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) in a six-man tag team match. This announcement came after a backstage segment. Chad Gable demanded a match against the group and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce accepted the Raw star’s request.

However, this also made people speculate about Pearce’s involvement with Wyatt Sicks. WWE legend Bully Ray, in the latest edition of the Busted Open Podcast, also teased this. He said, “It’s almost like Adam Pearce is letting all of this happen. Why is Adam Pearce letting this happen? And what is Adam Pearce’s connection with this faction? Is he a part of this faction himself? Because that’s how I felt coming off of what I saw last night. So, that backstage segment to me was very intriguing because of Adam Pearce’s involvement in what’s going on.”

Well, that’s intriguing. Remember how Gable claimed that he had found out the identities of the Wyatt Sicks through his keen intellect? Pearce called it out as a lie since they all witnessed the Sick members unmasked. He also said that Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, and Erick Rowan have contracts with the WWE.

That led Gable to ask Pearce to book a fight with them. But knowing that they are working as regular superstars with regular contracts, why isn’t Adam Pearce stopping them from causing this massacre? No doubt, Bully Ray feels Pearce might turn out to be a part of the faction.

Well, it seems like quite an interesting theory. In fact, this isn’t the only time that Pearce’s involvement has been speculated with the faction. Another major clue was dropped when Bo Dallas appeared in his office and left behind a secret clue that might have proved that the Raw GM was actually in cahoots with the sinister group.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Uncle Howdy the game-changer WWE needs, or just another gimmick destined to flop?

Have an interesting take?

Adam Pearce’s hat is a big clue!

Before Adam Pearce became the General Manager of RAW, he was known for playing the character of Postman Pearce. In case you’re finding it hard to remember who that was, Peace was actually a part of the Firefly Fun House and a part of the Bray Wyatt Universe after debuting in 2020.

As a part of the gimmick, the RAW GM wore a postman costume and a blue hat. One that was seen in his office earlier this month. Dallas most possibly left the hat behind as he was seen sitting in the General Manager’s office while he was out. So it seems like Pearce is willing to wear it all again. But what’s interesting to think about this whole scenario is if Pearce is doing it all willingly, or if he’s charmed or hypnotized.

Things don’t stop here. Remember how Pearce’s X account showed signs of possibly being compromised by Uncle Howdy? His handle was temporarily changed to ‘Postman’ and his bio read just one word. “Remember”. Things went a step further, and the account posted updates where Pearce was seen staring at a Firefly Fun House doll.

Well, all this does make it seem like Adam Pearce might be in cahoots with Wyatt Sicks. The next question fans might have is ‘why?’ Well, fans will have to wait for the storyline to unfold. What do you think about Adam Pearce being the sixth member of the Wyatt Sicks? Let us know in the comments.
