Uncle Howdy celebrated one year in WWE on August 26, 2024, marking the anniversary of his main roster debut on RAW against Chad Gable. His return to the ring under the Uncle Howdy persona followed years of performing as Bo Dallas. This debut was especially poignant as it was his first match after the passing of his brother Bray Wyatt, whose memory he honored by using the Sister Abigail finishing move.
Challenges Faced by Uncle Howdy and Wyatt Sicks in WWE
Over the past year, Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks have struggled to fully establish themselves amid WWE‘s evolving storylines. While they currently hold the WWE Tag Team Championships, Nikki Cross remains an underutilized member, as her in-ring appearances have been limited. This has made it difficult for the group to develop their characters fully or maximize their creative potential.
Continuing Bray Wyatt‘s Legacy Through the Firefly Fun House
Bray Wyatt was widely regarded as one of wrestling’s most inventive minds, and his legacy now lives on through his brother, who has sought to revive the magic of the Firefly Fun House. Despite obstacles and moments away from the spotlight, Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks have persevered, working to extend Bray’s influence in WWE.
Looking Ahead for Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks
Though the past year has included challenges for Uncle Howdy and his group, their resilience shows promise for the future. Uncle Howdy’s successful in-ring debut and ongoing efforts to honor Bray Wyatt highlight a path forward, suggesting that bigger opportunities and creative breakthroughs are likely on the horizon within WWE.
