For weeks, WWE has prepared for the return of Uncle Howdy with a lot of patience and publishing QR codes every week with clues that fans have been deciphering. However, this Monday, on RAW, it was time to reveal what was presumably going to be Howdy’s new faction.

After the main event of the Red brand, the lights went out, and Bray Wyatt’s entrance theme began to play. Nikki Cross appeared, looking all scary in her new gimmick, as more members of the Wyatt 6 were finally revealed to the camera. And that was when fans finally got to witness Uncle Howdy.

Standing tall while the other superstars, such as Chad Gable, bled around them, the five members, followed by their leader, took the stage before Howdy called the curtains by ending the show and simply announcing, “We are here.” What a start for the sinister faction and the supernatural entity! But do you know who the man behind the mask is, and how is he related to the late Bray Wyatt? Let’s find out.

Uncle Howdy surely is a scary-looking being. So it was fun to imagine that the man behind the mask had one of the most positive gimmicks in the company’s history. It is ‘Bo-lieve’ Bo Dallas who is the man behind the mask. And for those unaware, Dallas is the real-life brother of the late superstar Bray Wyatt. Dallas’ real name is Taylor Michale Rotunda, while Bray Wyatt’s real name is Windham Lawrence Rotunda.

The two are definitely not new to wrestling, as they belong to a family of wrestlers, with Howdy being a third-generation superstar, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Blackjack Mulligan, his father Mike Rotunda, and his uncles Barry and Kendall Windham. And now, Dallas is continuing the universe created by his brother, Wyatt.

As for the identity of the Wyatt Sicks, it remains a mystery, or at least that is what the promotion intended to do. As Nikki Cross was the only person whose face was relatively visible, while the rest wore masks. However, thanks to the physical characteristics and accessories such as tattoos, it seems that it is confirmed that it is Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and, obviously, Bo Dallas.

But what did you think of this debut? Are you interested in seeing how Howdy continues the Wyatt Universe? Let us know in the comments.
