Uncle Howdy‘s character has got all the wrestling fans thinking and speculating ever since he started teasing his return after WrestleMania XL. Although the Wyatt 6 has officially debuted now, fans still haven’t let go of their detective skills and seem to enjoy having to discover deeper meanings behind the promos that Bo Dallas is delivering through VHS tapes. On Monday Night Raw 07/01, we saw the wrestler continuing his conversation with Uncle Howdy that had begun a week ago. This time around, Howdy said a couple of things that seem to have stuck with the fanbase, making them scratch their heads.
The Wyatt Sick6 hijacked the opening promo when they came in to scare the entire arena. Nikki Cross‘ character then handed over another VHS tape to the announcers. Later on, the promotion played the tape only for fans to notice how Uncle Howdy said the phrases, “There you are” and “I am nobody. I am all of us,” with special emphasis.
So many questions right now… pic.twitter.com/WFJFfOB17M

This wasn’t the first time that a Wyatt 6 teaser forced fans to explore possible underlying themes. There were times when the viewers swooped in to save the day with their theories about the stable and its teasers, whether it be promos or online posts. The trend followed as netizens took to their social media handles to discuss Howdy’s latest promo.
Wrestling fans theorize on Uncle Howdy’s latest promo
Although the entire VHS segment was worth talking about, a fan page on X specifically focused on the two phrases that stood out of the ordinary, as they believed that they may hold some significance that we’re not yet aware of. Help arrived in the form of various theories from the fans on the social media platform. The first statement showed Uncle Howdy’s response to discovering Bo Dallas’ true nature as he was answering his questions. Moreover, the latter statement could mean that the group together holds more importance rather than being voiceless individuals. This fan also emphasized the role of Jeremiah 18, which is speculated to be a heavy theme in the current storyline that the stable is following.
"There You Are"
This phrase signifies the moment of recognition and revelation. It represents the idea of finding one's true self or the unveiling of someone's true nature. In the context of Bo Dallas transforming into Uncle Howdy, it could symbolize the moment when his true…— MetalMama1987 🔸Brittany (@MetalMama1987) July 4, 2024
What’s your perspective on:
Is WWE's Uncle Howdy the most intriguing character since The Undertaker? What are your thoughts?
Have an interesting take?
Another shot at attempting the phrases takes us deeper into the discipline of psychology. The first line could have meant that Howdy was able to discover the mortal wrestler’s ‘id’ or his instinctual and primitive side that operates without any moral code. The second phrase could be representing a ‘split personality’ storyline that we are yet to fully discover.
Ok making me use my brain again, huh lol. So when Howdy is saying “there you are” I believe he is talking to Bo’s “id”. (Pronounced id like kid without the k). Everyone has an id, their inner desire. It’s the person inside of us that we don’t let others really see. It’s that…

Someone on the internet believes that the point of these sessions with Uncle Howdy is that he gets to bring out the darkness in Bray Wyatt’s brother. This is why he probably said the first sentence because he was able to witness it firsthand. Additionally, the second sentence may be an homage to the fact that the Wyatt 6 is all about unity and rising together.
1. "There you are" I think is Howdy seeing the darkness inside Bo… I think that's the point of the sessions… to bring it out of him
2. "I am nobody, I am all of us" I think that's Howdys way of saying that he's not in charge.. they're a family and the family is in control..— Jack Draco (@KingDraco5) July 4, 2024
The Wyatt Family reference was also dropped by one of the internet users on X who believes that the dialogues used in the segment represent cult behaviors that were also previously prevalent in the stable that the late wrestler, Bray Wyatt was featured in.
“I am nobody” is classic cult 101 removal of the self, break down the person until they’re a shell of themselves, then really drive them into the cult.
“I am all of us” is all about cult group thought and what you see in Bo’s vision is what the other members see in themselves.

Another interesting twist in the story as someone suggested how Uncle Howdy could be meaning to bring out the darkness, anger, and other negative emotions from Bo Dallas. The fan who commented on this also added that the mysterious entity probably wanted to show that he is all of the Wyatt 6 while Dallas thinks he is nobody.
