Uncle Howdy unleashed himself on the red brand a few weeks ago and has since been a force that everybody on the roster wants to stay away from. So far, he has only been cutting promos through VHS tapes. Every dialogue of his gets dissected online by the fanbase as they try to decipher the hidden meaning behind it all.
Recent research done by a member of the Internet Wrestling Community brings out an old dialogue delivered by Bo Dallas in a former gimmick, drawing a parallel to his current self in WWE.

During his initial time on the main roster, Bray Wyatt’s brother was given the ‘Bo-lieve’ gimmick. While some fans may not have liked it, others found it funny and unique. During one of his backstage segments, Bo Dallas met up with Curtis Axel and tried to give him a hilarious pep talk. As a younger Taylor Rotunda is walking down the corridor, he spots Axle minding his own business. With little sense of privacy, Dallas initiates a conversation with him by saying, “There you are!” If you have been following Raw every week, this will give you ‘deja vu’.

The simple dialogue was traced back to the origin of the popular phrase that Uncle Howdy delivered in one of his recent VHS promos. There were more things to notice in the VHS than just the dialogue, but it is intriguing to note that the phrase that had the fans scratching their heads, had its origin long ago, probably hinting that Uncle Howdy was referencing Bo Dallas while saying what he said.

Uncle Howdy could help him achieve something big
There have been three VHS tapes so far, with each of them hinting that Uncle Howdy and Bo Dallas could exist independently of each other, yet the entire Wyatt Sick6 stable is one and the same. As confusing as it may sound, it seems like Uncle Howdy could be Bo Dallas’ one more shot at a WWE Championship. This is a dream that he dreamed a long time ago when he was still carrying out his ‘Bo-lieve’ gimmick. Since he has now gotten another chance at shooting his wrestling career in WWE once again with the help of the legacy of his late brother, we may see it happening again.

Gorilla Position posted an interview that they had with the late wrestler’s brother long ago. In the clip, Dallas is asked about where he would see himself in the future in the Stamford-based company. He revealed that he wishes to be a WWE Champion at the least, and also implied that he would wish to win more championships. With the path that he has taken with the story, a title reign may not be far away. If not multiple, then WWE may work out a single championship run for Bo Dallas using Uncle Howdy’s assistance.
