WWE began teasing Uncle Howdy’s return at the conclusion of Peacock’s new Bray Wyatt documentary, “Becoming Immortal.” Since then, it’s also been reported that the masked character isn’t coming back alone, with Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, Dexster Lumis, and Joe Gacy also expected to feature in a new spooky stable. However, while fans are very enthusiastic about this, former WWE writer Vince Russo has expressed his concern during a recent podcast appearance, saying he doesn’t have faith in the WWE’s creative team to pull it off.
“This is very, very, very, very dangerous because what they are attempting to do, I tip my hat to, they are looking to honor his legacy, and I tip my hat for that, bro. I give them credit for that. I don’t have a problem with that. But, this is a slippery slope if it’s not good because if it’s not good, they will tarnish his legacy. And, bro, I’m just going on track record alone. I don’t have confidence, bro, in WWE Creative, I don’t.”
Vince RussoThe Uncle Howdy character, played by Wyatt’s real-life brother Bo Dallas, was taken off television shortly after Wyatt became ill. At the time, it was assumed he would return once Wyatt had recuperated; however, once news broke that Wyatt had tragically passed, most thought the gimmick and the entire Wyatt universe of characters had gone with him. Still, those who believed that were obviously wrong, and Wyatt’s legacy will soon get a chance to live on through his brethren.
