Recently WWE wittyly disclosed not only the nitty gritty on Uncle Howdy’s return but also introduced us to all the potential stars who will accompany him to the ring, leading to the re-designing of ‘Wyatt 6’. Alongside heavily teased Alexa Bliss, Nikki Cross, and Eric Rowan, another prominent element of that group is supposed to be Joe Gacy.

While the 37-year-old gained some reaction during his indie and NXT stint, that was nowhere near the intensity of the fame, that he garnered in the last few weeks. Thanks to his non-faded link with the evolving Uncle Howdy storyline. Now, a resurfaced old NXT promo of him made us realize that the connection was even deeper than we see and it’s already been there for a long.

The former Scheme leader has widely been compared to the late Bray Wyatt. His eccentric gimmick, darker look, and drive to keep the group tied in one thread were the key reasons for the odd analogy to come. Although the 36-year-old dismissed the theory back then, one of his forgotten promos from the November 23 NXT episode showed a different reality.

When he was preaching some cryptic messages in front of the camera, fans overheard a random sound of the iconic Wyatt catchphrase, Yowie Wowie, and immediately rest assured of who’s going to step into the WWE ring alongside Whatt’s alter ego, Uncle Howdy anytime soon.

It made more sense given how WWE pushed the tease of Gacy as a possible Wyatt 6 member through a lyrical cue on a recent episode of SmackDown. It clearly depicted Gacy’s past trajectory of being excluded from his own faction, shaping the belief that he is on his way.

Moving ahead, if you wonder what’s the actual meaning of the catchphrase Yowie Wowie, here’s your answer.

What does the iconic ‘Yowie Wowie’ signify? Explained.

The manifestation of the sinister side of Bray Wyatt came with The Fiand. The gimmick heavily used the word Yowie Wowie on several occasions in his Firefly Fun House show. While The Fiand was out to take on Seth Rollins in a hellish Hell in Cell match last year, Wyatt was asked the very significance of the ‘Yowie Wowie’ term, and the late legend gave an interesting answer in response.

The Eater of The World stated that he emits these words whenever he feels extremely happy, to the point of not being able to control what’s coming out of her mouth.

Now, given the newfound significance of an old promo in the discussion, it will be interesting to see if Joe Gracy really makes his presence felt alongside Howdy at whatever time scheduled.
