Uncle Howdy has been in the headlines ever since his big WWE return on Monday Night Raw on 06/17. Despite his storied return, he also introduced some of his friends who were involved in previous storylines with Bray Wyatt. However, their identity and motivations haven’t yet come to the fore of the fanbase.
While talking about the latest exchange that involved Nikki Cross and Michael Cole on last Monday Night Raw, a WWE veteran suggested her identity. And the supposed identity holds a deep connection with the story that Wyatt had presented to the wrestling faithful.
Is Uncle Howdy back with a pivotal character from Bray Wyatt’s past?

Bray Wyatt’s kayfabe past starts with the boating accident that he went through when he was with his family. This came about at the time he met Sister Abigail. Abigail eventually passed away and Wyatt continued worshiping her and began a cult in her honor.
Several years down the line, he had some voices living inside his head. He named one of them ‘Abigail the Witch’. Although it’s not yet confirmed which wrestler is playing what role, it seems that Wyatt Sick6 has assigned one voice to each talent and Cross may be playing Abigail.
Even during a recent Busted Open Podcast episode, Bully Ray said, “I guess it’s Nikki Cross. Do we call her Sister Abigail? I’m not sure. So Gable wins his match in the ring fills up with thick, thick smoke, and out from under the ring comes Sister Abigail. And she slithers in, Gable bumps his a*s and he rolls out.”

Although Ray only gave his opinion, he still took the liberty of deeming her to be ‘Sister Abigail’. This is a mystery that perhaps won’t be solved until Uncle Howdy himself reveals the motivations and identity of each member. Maybe this day is coming soon too.
When can we see the Wyatt Sicks next?
On Raw 06/24, Nikki Cross appeared to give a package to Michael Cole during a short segment. The commentator opened it to find a VHS tape inside. He sent it to the production crew and several minutes later; the tape played to reveal a poignant, cinematic segment between Bo Dallas and Uncle Howdy. The former talked about the grief he faced after losing his brother.

The tape wasn’t free of the glitches, which are a staple of the Wyatt 6 storyline. An account on X captured these glitches and uploaded them for the fans to decode. There were two different numbers on the screen: 25 and 28. Fans went on to decipher what it meant and concluded that these may be the two dates where the Wyatt 6 could show up next.
Since he wasn’t present on NXT on the 25th, fans can expect to see Uncle Howdy show up at Friday Night SmackDown. If he shows up in the MSG this week, the rest of the gimmick names for the talents may be revealed officially.
