Uncle Howdy, portrayed by Bo Dallas, has hinted at a potential WWE feud with a wrestling legend, amid his growing presence on SmackDown with the Wyatt Sicks faction. The group has gained momentum recently, securing the Tag Team Championship, but Dallas has largely been absent from high-profile singles matches. This tease comes as WWE’s iconic star John Cena nears the end of his retirement tour, sparking speculation about possible showdowns.
Bo Dallas recently mentioned the chance of facing Cena, known as the Unseen-17, before the veteran concludes his time inside the WWE ring. Given the limited opportunities to face Cena during this final tour, only select superstars are expected to step into the ring with him as his farewell approaches.
In an interview with Adam Barnard of TheSportster, Dallas spoke about resolving unfinished business with the 48-year-old legend, suggesting that a confrontation might be on the horizon.
“I think, never say never and there’s always a possibility, I’d say, just keep watching. There’s a lot of big stuff that the Wyatt Sicks is going to be getting done really soon,” he said. – Bo Dallas, TheSportster on YouTube, H/T Sportskeeda Wrestling
Bo Dallas’s late brother, Bray Wyatt, previously engaged in memorable rivalries against John Cena, including two prominent WrestleMania encounters. At WrestleMania 30, Cena emerged victorious, while at WrestleMania 36, Wyatt won a distinct Firefly Fun House match. A feud between Cena and Uncle Howdy could symbolically honor Bray Wyatt’s legacy during the final phase of Cena’s active WWE career.
Hints at Possible Expansion of the Wyatt Sicks Faction
The current Wyatt Sicks lineup includes five members: Uncle Howdy, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and Nikki Cross. Lumis and Gacy presently hold the Tag Team Championship, with Rowan and Cross supporting the group’s efforts. Rumors have circulated about additional wrestlers joining the faction soon.
Bo Dallas addressed such speculation during a discussion with TVInsider, neither confirming nor denying new members but leaving the door open cautiously for the future.
“Never say never. There are always possibilities of other people coming in the future, but right now the core and our direction and what we want to get done is going to stay as it is. That’s as far as I see, but never say never. There are a lot of untold stories out of my brother’s books and notes. Time will tell. It’s a possibility, but right now I think the Wyatt Sicks as it is that needs to get some stuff done,” he said. – Bo Dallas, TVInsider
Whether Uncle Howdy’s statement signals new additions to the Wyatt Sicks remains uncertain, but the faction appears focused on accomplishing key objectives before any roster changes occur.
Connecting Past and Present Rivalries in WWE
Bo Dallas’s connection to Bray Wyatt adds weight to the rumored feud with John Cena, potentially offering an emotional layer to the storyline. With the Wyatt Sicks dominating SmackDown’s tag division and Dallas seeking more singles prominence, a Cena matchup could serve as a fitting tribute in the final chapter of Cena’s career.
The Wyatt family’s history with Cena included some of wrestling’s most memorable moments, making this potential feud a storyline that would resonate with fans familiar with their past battles.
Implications and Future Direction for Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks
Uncle Howdy’s subtle hints at major developments indicate an ongoing narrative buildup around the Wyatt Sicks. Should the faction grow or if Bo Dallas secures a singles feud with John Cena, it would represent significant strides for both the character and the group’s status on SmackDown.
Fans and industry insiders will be watching closely in the coming weeks as WWE unfolds these storylines, potentially setting the stage for major moments involving legacy, competition, and new wrestling chapters.
