WWE had major plans for Bray Wyatt before his sudden and untimely passing. With more characters ready to be introduced to expand his lore, Wyatt was set for a massive push. However, the WWE has tried to ensure his memory and legacy remain sacred since his passing. Among these is the return of Uncle Howdy, a character played by Wyatt’s brother, Bo Dallas. Despite the multiple hints at his return, WWE may have given it away on social media.

Uncle Howdy was teased at the end of the documentary, Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal, and most recently on WWE RAW.

Uncle Howdy was a mysterious figure introduced in 2022. Played by Wyatt’s brother, Bo Dallas, Howdy wore a creepy mask and top hat. His motives were unclear, as he would sometimes help Wyatt, while at other times appearing menacing. This ambiguity and unsettling presence added a layer of intrigue to the superstar’s storyline with LA Knight. However, since his passing in 2023, WWE has been trying to incorporate the character while respecting Wyatt’s memory. The last time the character was seen was in March 2023 on SmackDown. Since 2024, WWE has dropped subtle hints about his return, with the documentary’s ending being the starting point. He was also teased on the recent episode of RAW after it went off-air. Now, on X, the official WWE handle posted a series of “Hello” before deleting it.

While many would claim it could’ve been accidentally posted, hardcore fans believe it was intentional. Hello is just another form of Howdy. This could be a massive hint that fans will soon see Wyatt’s demonic alter ego. Nevertheless, the hints present themselves across various WWE channels as murmurs of an impending debut loom.

As mentioned above, the recent episode of RAW featured a glitch for 30 seconds with some eerie music. During Bronson Reed’s promo, fans encountered the same glitch with the text “Hello.” These hints also appeared in Wyatt’s documentary. While Dallas returned to the company to portray the character, he hasn’t appeared in any programs. The only time he was seen was at the Hall of Fame ceremony prior to Mania XL.
