The WWE Universe is abuzz once more with excitement over Uncle Howdy and The Wyatt Sicks as their dominance on SmackDown intensifies. Since their debut last year, this Bray Wyatt-inspired faction has captured fans’ imaginations, and now talk is growing that Bo Dallas could undergo a major dive into the Uncle Howdy Fiend Transformation, reviving his brother’s iconic persona in a fresh way.
The Wyatt Sicks officially appeared on WWE SmackDown in late May after their initial introduction on RAW ended months before. The group, including Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas), Joe Gacy (Huskus the Pig Boy), Dexter Lumis (Mercy the Buzzard), Erick Rowan (Ramblin’ Rabbit), and Nikki Cross (Abby the Witch), quickly engaged in heated battles with several SmackDown tag teams, setting their sights firmly on securing championship titles.
Bray Wyatt, known as The Eater of Worlds, left a significant mark on WWE, and his legacy continues through his brother Bo Dallas and WWE officials. Symbols and references to The Fiend frequently surface in current storylines, and fans have noticed clear nods to this in Uncle Howdy’s recent appearances. These clues have fueled speculation that Bo Dallas’ transformation into The Fiend is underway, adding anticipation to the faction’s trajectory.

Uncle Howdy’s Growing Role and Fiend Hints on SmackDown
Since mid-June, speculation about Uncle Howdy’s evolving character has increased dramatically. The latest SmackDown episodes showcased continued teasers related to The Fiend as The Wyatt Sicks secured important victories. On the most recent taped SmackDown, Uncle Howdy and his faction waged a renewed assault on the tag team division, answering last week’s controversial finish in favor of the Street Profits.
In Friday’s high-energy match, Howdy, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, and Erick Rowan teamed together to defeat Chris Sabin, Johnny Gargano, Berto, and Montez Ford in just under eleven minutes. The intense, chaotic battle quickly became a central talking point within the WWE Universe. Fans also focused on subtle additions to Howdy’s costume, sparking further debate on whether Bo Dallas is preparing to fully embody The Fiend once again.
Looking Ahead: SmackDown’s Road to SNME XL and Evolution II
Next Friday’s SmackDown promises to be critical as the final broadcast before two highly anticipated WWE events, SNME XL and Evolution II. The live show will feature Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis challenging the Street Profits for the WWE Tag Team Championship, adding more stakes to The Wyatt Sicks’ ongoing rivalry in the tag team division. This event could further showcase Uncle Howdy’s transformation and set the stage for significant developments within WWE’s evolving storylines.
