Karrion Kross and his Final Testament faction feuded with The Wyatt Sicks for months last year, with their last showdown coming in December 2024. Now, it’s been reported that Bo Dallas is injured and fans are pointing the finger of blame at Kross.

A Wyatt Sicks fan account on X shared a slowed-down video clip from December, showing Kross executing a move on Dallas. When they claimed that Kross injured Dallas, who wrestled as Uncle Howdy, the former NXT responded to the accusation.

Bo Dallas was absent from a Royal Rumble photo op that featured the Wyatt Sicks, which led to many believing he was injured. PW Insider’s Mike Johnson confirmed that Dallas is not currently traveling with WWE, verifying that he is sidelined due to a legitimate injury.

Kross’ character-breaking response shows that the WWE roster is a team and despite on-screen feuds, Kross takes no pleasure in another wrestler being hurt. In the absence of the Wyatt Sicks, Kross has continued to portray his ‘Devil’s Advocate’ role, though the Final Testament is no more after recent WWE releases led to AOP and Paul Ellering being cut.

With The Wyatt Sicks being moved to WWE SmackDown, fans are excited to see what’s to come for the faction, espcially given Alexa Bliss’ return. Ultimately, fans will have to wait for Bray Wyatt to be fully healed from an injury that was not the fault of Karrion Kross.

Windham “Bray Wyatt” Rotunda may no longer be with us, but the late wrestler’s creative influence remains a significant presence on WWE programming. Earlier this year, WWE introduced the Wyatt Sicks, a macabre faction led by Uncle Howdy, whose character has clear ties to the three-time World Champion.

Behind Uncle Howdy’s mask is Bo Dallas, the real-life brother of Rotunda. Speaking to Dead Meat this week, Dallas revealed that the Wyatt Sicks faction draws heavily from his brother’s innovative ideas.

“Every one of our ideas up to this point has been connected to one of Windham’s original ideas,” Dallas shared. “All those characters came out of Windham’s mind.”

Dallas further highlighted Rotunda’s inspiration from the indie horror film A House That October Built. The film features a killer wearing a creepy doll-like mask, which Rotunda used as the basis for Sister Abigail, portrayed by Nikki Cross.

“He was obsessed with that mask for years and had all these ideas that he was eventually going to incorporate,” Dallas recalled.

Though Windham Rotunda has tragically passed away, his creative legacy and his love for wrestling and horror continue to resonate. Stay tuned to SEScoops for updates on the Wyatt Sicks, who remains a force to be reckoned with on Monday Night Raw.

Bo Dallas states that there are bigger things to come for the Wyatt Sicks and it’s all in honor of Bray Wyatt.

Speaking with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports, Dallas, who has greatly remained a mystery since returning as Uncle Howdy, gave fans a bit of a teaser as what wrestling fans can expect for the future of his very cryptic faction.

“There are going to be ups and downs. We’ll come back more explosive than ever and keep the vibe and feeling that everyone has seen. It’ll take turns no one saw coming. I think the future is very exciting and looks very, very bright for the Wyatt Sicks.”

Since Dallas’ group had its memorable and near frightening debut on WWE Raw, the Wyatt Sicks are very much removed from the supernatural aspect that Bray Wyatt’s “The Fiend” once had. Instead, all members of the group have been very humanized, yet blended with Bray’s ‘Firefly Funhouse’ characters.

“Family” has been a theme since their debut as they first targeted Chad Gable, who turned his back on ‘The Alpha Academy’. After they won the feud against American Made, the Wyatt Sicks set their sights on The Final Testament, who has caused fracture in the relationships between Awesome Truth and The New Day.

The familial aspect of the faction makes plenty of sense for Dallas, who says how the formation of the group is in honor of his late great older brother, but will develop all the personalities involved.

“The Wyatt Sicks, I have no fear or problem saying we have no worries about standing on our own. This beginning part is the main tribute to Bray, and it will all come around. Everybody in the Wyatt Sicks is in the Wyatt Sicks for a reason.”

The Wyatt Sicks have caught the intrigue of pro wrestling fans, and what the group has been up to hasn’t been without intent.

The 7/1 episode of WWE RAW featured the group targeting Chad Gable once again as another VHS tape was dropped off to Michael Cole. The tape featured another Bo Dallas conversation with Uncle Howdy. Dallas expressed his disgust at a “false prophet” benefitting off his “family.” That “fake prophet” was all but confirmed by Gable himself shortly after.

RELATED: Wyatt Sicks Release Another VHS Tape On WWE RAW

The “tale of the tape” took to fan discussion on social media, and some interesting discoveries were made regarding where Dallas’ conversaton with “Uncle Howdy” took place.

A screenshot of the tape shows the dark backdrop to the “interview” and it happens to have an eerie resemblance to The Firefly Funhouse.

Giving a nod back to the Funhouse makes a lot of sense considering The Wyatt Sicks members have adopted their personas off the characters who once resided there.

Unfortunately for Gable, he may not have any added protection after being hunted by The Wyatt Sicks. Otis was approached by Chad once again for help, but his friend denied Gable for help once more.

Ever since The Wyatt Sicks debuted, Gable has been their primary focus as they notoriously left him

The Wyatt Sicks seem to have a target in Chad Gable and that was all the more furthered on the July 1 episode of WWE RAW.

The opening of the episode had the Wyatt Sicks scare off a concerned Gable yet again which led Nikki Cross to once again make her way over to Michael Cole to hand him another box. In that box was another VHS tape and it wasn’t until later on in the episode when that tape was played.

This Week’s Wyatt Sicks Tape

Much like the tape from last week, this one included more footage of Uncle Howdy “sitting down” with Bo Dallas. Dallas continues to appear conflicted and full of rage as he mentions how the name of Wyatt Sicks brought all these forgotten names together.

“Special implies that others are not, that there’s others that are less than that deserves to be forgotten. We’re the ones that everybody wanted to forget about. We’re the ones that everybody abandoned. We made them notice us.”

Dallas said this bond between them all made them become a family, and he happens to take exception to a certain individual who has been taking advantage of that unity.

“Even now there’s false prophets berating, belitting their family for their own game! It’s disgusting. They must pay for their sins.”

Considering the Wyatts have consistently targeted Chad Gable, it was safe to assume that Dallas was referring to him. Gable confirmed such after a commercial break. We saw Gable approach Otis, who made clear that his issue with The Wyatt Sicks was his problem, not theirs.

Fan Theories

The Wyatt Sicks are all about mystery and cryptic clues, so fans have already been conditioned to watch everything they do very closely.

WWE fans have gotten used to the QR Code teases at this point, when even Michael Cole referring to them as “those damn QR Codes,” and now whoever is behind this has taken over WWE’s official website.

Uncle Howdy’s influence is spreading across WWE. His presence has been felt in 2K24, TV shows with QR codes, and the company’s Twitch stream. Recently, WWE.com was hacked, displaying a message that seems connected to the enigmatic figure.

The message tells a story about value, explaining that value isn’t tied to utilization. Even if something is crumpled and ignored, it retains its worth. This concept extends to people, who often feel devalued due to others’ ignorance. The message admits to having once allowed others’ expectations to determine self-worth but emphasizes that understanding one’s true purpose can lead to liberation from such negativity.

It conveys that the writer, identifying with everyone and no one, found freedom by rejecting others’ preconceived ideas and lies. This realization allowed them to help others see the truth. The message ends with a call for redemption, stating that the past must be destroyed, and warning that a “massacre is coming.”

Uncle Howdy took over

A massacre is coming…

Impending Teases & QR Code Fun

During WWE SmackDown this week, a QR code went to a link on WWE’s website, which included video links to a variety of different messages from Uncle Howdy, most of which have already appeared throughout his takeover of WWE programming on various platforms.

The first tease of this new faction appeared during the closing moments of the Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal documentary. The idea being shared at the time was that Wyatt’s creative legacy may live on, as someone else carries the torch.

Something is coming, and it’s only a matter of time before it happens. Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan are expected to join the new faction linked to Uncle Howdy, forming a new iteration of the Wyatt Family.

WWE continues to build toward a huge angle with QR codes. The trend continued during this week’s episode of RAW.

During Ilja Dragunov’s entrance before his match against Ricochet, another QR code appeared on the screen. Michael Cole, once again, pointed it out, saying, “there’s that damn QR code, again.”

The QR code this week led to a video featuring a woman who had been reported missing. In the video, she spoke about her captor, stating she was never in any harm and was happy that he “set her free.”

Upcoming Stable

A lot of hype is growing about Uncle Howdy’s new stable, with Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross, and Erick Rowan reportedly involved. Fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of this new faction.

The teases began at the end of the Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal documentary, suggesting someone might continue Wyatt’s legacy. With Bo Dallas taking on the Uncle Howdy character, Wyatt’s story may carry on in this way.

WWE has strategically placed these hints across various platforms, including their WWE 2K24 video game. We will continue to monitor for any new updates on this unfolding storyline.

Something is stirring in the WWE Universe, and the cryptic clues keep coming. The company’s Twitch stream, already a target for mysterious messages, saw another ominous interruption today.

A new hint has emerged about the rumored Bo Dallas-led faction in WWE. This only adds to the growing intrigue surrounding their anticipated arrival.

During a live Twitch stream on WWE’s official channel, viewers saw a series of mysterious visuals and messages. This concluded the stream for the day, and the clip immediately went viral.

The strange portion of the broadcast started with two notes shown on screen. One said, “I can’t wait to meet you,” as the other read, “I will see you all soon.” Then, hands wearing fingerless gloves appeared, holding a note with the message “REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE” along with displayed coordinates. They left this note on a doorstep before running away.

The Upcoming Stable

Four other names are expected to be part of this new faction. Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan are all slated to join the new Wyatt Family fold.

Each of these Superstars has experience as faction members. Cross was part of Sanity, Gacy leads The Schism, Lumis was a member of The Way, and Rowan was an original member of The Wyatt Family.

Uncle Howdy hasn’t been seen on WWE television since he was involved in Bray Wyatt’s story with Bobby Lashley during the build toward their WrestleMania 39 match that never happened. WWE is obviously planning something, and fans will seemingly have an answer to all their questions soon.

WWE was infiltrated by another QR code on the 5/20 episode of WWE RAW and it leads to a place with a name tied to the Wyatt Family.

Sami Zayn and Chad Gable were duking it out on Monday and as Zayn was delivering a blue thunder bomb to Gable, a QR code flashed on screen along with some mysterious imagery. If fans got the opportunity to capture the code it would take them to a survery asking several yes or no questions including:

“Can you ever truly be free?”

“Have you ever lost your way?”

“Did you find your way back?”

“Do you want to be better?”

“Do you know that I am proud of you?”

“Is love unconditional?”

If you answer them in favor of the inquiry you will be lead to several blocks to pick from and if you open on of them it shows a white lined sheet with symbols all over it, but coordinates on the side. If you look up those coordinates, it leads fans to Rowan University.

• Bo-Lieve Reference Revealed In QR Code Mystery From 5/17 WWE SmackDown

While the college itself may be disregarded, the name of it will raise eyebrows considering the name of the former Wyatt Family member, Erick Rowan. Rowan is reported to be one of the new members of the faction that is likely to be led by Bray Wyatt’s brother, Bo Dallas. Also reportedly penciled in for the group is Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross and NXT’s Joe Gacy.

WWE has had its share of fun teasing this new group with several QR codes and the “Nightbird” song playing at WWE Live Events.

WWE’s ongoing QR code mystery made a subtle reference to the Bo-lieve gimmick as many await the return of the character Bo Dallas played: Uncle Howdy.

Since the Raw after WrestleMania 40, several QR codes have appeared on WWE programming and scanning them has led fans to cryptic videos with clues to decipher. More recently, WWE’s Twitch channel shared an hour-long video inundated with clues and hidden meanings. 

• WWE Twitch Stream Invaded By Cryptic Messages

Latest QR Code Mystery

It is believed that these videos and clues are building to the return of Uncle Howdy, as portrayed in 2022 and 2023 by Bo Dallas. On the May 17, episode of WWE SmackDown, this continued as a QR code appeared during the match between DIY and Legado Del Fantasma’s Angel and Berto. 

When scanned, a video filled with ominous symbols played which includes a young boy with creepy Joker-esque facepaint. A voiceover states “He is nobody. He is all of us,” before concluding with, “Do you want to meet him?” before showing a sketch similar to what fans recently saw on Twitch. 

The video from tonight’s QR code:#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/epgWy7w2aa

— Wrestle Ops (@WrestleOps) May 18, 2024

It’s unclear who the boy is in this video, perhaps a young Bo Dallas himself. At the end of the video, the number 4714 was briefly shown, leaving fans to wonder what this number means. As some have pointed out on social media, April 7, 2014, was the date of the initial Bo-lieve gimmick that led to Dallas being called up to the main roster. 

Dallas isn’t expected to return as Uncle Howdy alone. Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, and the recently rehired Erick Rowan are set to be part of a faction, an idea that had at one time reportedly been the plan for Bray Wyatt. There’s no word on when fans should expect Uncle Howdy on TV but the current signs on TV seem to indicate that his return is not far away. 

WWE is not stopping with their mysterious QR codes. Many believe that these are signs that Bo Dallas’ new stable is on the way, and the signs are hard to ignore at this point.

During the IYO SKY vs. Shayna Baszler Queen of the Ring quarterfinal match on WWE RAW this week, a QR code appeared on the screen. For the first time, the code was acknowledged by the commentary team of Pat McAfee and Michael Cole. The seasoned announcer made a mention to the strange code after it flashed on the screen, which could be a sign that we are getting closer to the big reveal.

The qr code on raw leads you to a bunch of pictures #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/SmBtsJyrR5

— Plank???? (@TonyPlank3) May 14, 2024

The code directs fans to a series of picture files, including a photo of a floppy disk labeled ‘5.16.24 4pm + WITCH.’

this is one of the pictures from the QR code this week on raw. i think we need to pay attention to this date and time for two reasons the first one is may 16th which is this thursday, second reason is the time says 4pm plus witch soooo… #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/7DxrR6iWzy

— SODAPOP??? (@CasualPunkYEAH) May 14, 2024

Bray Wyatt had many friends in the Firefly Fun House, including Abby the Witch. It has been widely thought that this new stable will be Bray’s “Wyatt 6” stable come to life, which would include the witch character.

New Stable Plans

Currently, four other names are expected to be part of the new faction. Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan are all set to join the new Wyatt Family group. Each of these individuals has prior experience as faction members: Cross was part of Sanity, Gacy led The Schism, Lumis was a member of The Way, and Rowan was an original member of The Wyatt Family.

Sadly, Bray Wyatt passed away on August 24 at the age of 36-years-old. Although he may be gone, his creative legacy will live on in the form of this new stable. 

WWE’s QR code mystery continued during the May 10, edition of SmackDown as signs continued to point towards a stable in tribute to Bray Wyatt. 

A ‘glitch’ featuring a QR code appeared during the Queen of the Ring tournament first-round match between Nia Jax and Naomi which was won by the irresistible force. Scanning the code takes fans to a video that at first appears to be WWE’s new introductory video, complete with a voice-over by Triple H. 

 The video then takes a dark tone as a message is shared alongside creepy imagery. 

“They put us in a cave together, told us to behold the glory. We watched in awe, consumed by their lies. We were never the chosen ones, left in the cave to rot, to be forgotten. But he set us free. Now we understand. We follow the prophecy. The word of the red. Soon you will understand. The tears we shed watered our antipathy and blossomed a garden of revulsion. There is no safe space. Only my family.”

Tonight’s QR code leads you to this video:#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/veyOmM5ofw

— Wrestle Ops (@WrestleOps) May 11, 2024

Like previous videos, this latest video includes rhetoric to caves, which ties to Platoean theory about reality. The use of ‘we’ also hammers home the belief that this will be a stable rather than an individual.  Perhaps the biggest clue in this text is the stanza about “the word of the red.” Fans may recognize the reference to ‘red’ as Bray Wyatt had promos in 2014 in which he referred to being red.

“I am the color red, in a world of black and white and if you value your ability to breathe… Don’t get too close.”

All signs are pointing towards a stable led by Uncle Howdy, the character Bray Wyatt portrayed upon his return to WWE in 2022. Howdy was pulled from TV around the same time Wyatt was pulled due to the health issues that would cut his life tragically short in August 2023. It’s also been reported that Howdy won’t be returning to WWE alone. Dallas has also been referenced in previous videos. 

A new Wyatt Family may be on the horizon, but when and who will exactly show up representing the renewed faction?

A lot of actual signs in the form of QR codes and trailers greatly indicate that Bo Dallas will be returning to WWE television, perhaps in the form of himself or the mysterious Uncle Howdy. However, a new report from PWInsider has a list of names rumored to join the late Bray Wyatt’s younger brother.

As of now, currently on tap to be in the new faction (whatever they may be called) are four other names. Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy and Erick Rowan are all slated to be in the new Wyatt Family fold. All of those mentioned names have previous experience as faction members with Cross being apart of Sanity, Gacy leading The Schism, Dexter Lumis as a member of The Way and Rowan of course as an original member of The Wyatt Family.

The Codes And Rumors Surrounding Bo Dallas’ Return

 WWE started a cryptic campaign in the weeks up to WrestleMania 40 with the first teaser of a Bo Dallas return being at the end of the Bray Wyatt documentary trailer. Ever since, QR codes have popped up for fans to scan and an ominous tune titled “Nightbird” has began playing before and during WWE live events.

The most recent reference was quite direct for Bo Dallas as a QR code appeared on the 5/3 episode of WWE SmackDown. The code directed fans to a Backlash trailer before turning into something creepy that had the quote ‘He opened his arms. Our pain became his. We were reborn. Because we BOlieved.’

WWE’s QR code mystery continued during the May 3, episode of SmackDown and featured a direct reference to the man behind Uncle Howdy. 

The code appeared during the entrance for the LWO ahead of Angel’s match with LA Knight. Scanning the code brings fans to what seems to be an error page on WWE.com, as well as a video. The video, at first, appears to be nothing but a promotional video for the SmackDown before WWE Backlash: France before things take a macabre turn. 

NEW Uncle Howdy Teaser for tonight’s #SmackDown QR Code!

Could something be going down at #WWEBacklash? ? pic.twitter.com/R7RXtLtqJc

— The Movement – Pro Wrestling (@TheMovementXx) May 3, 2024

The video contains the message ‘He opened his arms. Our pain became his. We were reborn. Because we believed.’ The final word then glitches and reads ‘BOlieved.’ Fans familiar with the early career of Bo Dallas will remember the former NXT Champion’s ‘BOlieve’ gimmick as an obnoxious motivational guru. 

Dallas returned to WWE as Uncle Howdy in 2022, though has yet to be revealed as the man behind the mask on TV. It is believed (or rather, bolieved) that these QR codes are leading to the return of Uncle Howdy, potentially with a stable. Dallas/Howdy was pulled from programming after his brother Bray Wyatt was pulled due to health issues that ultimately claimed Wyatt’s life in August 2023. 

The video also features what appears to be a woman standing alone in a room. Some fans have speculated that this is Alexa Bliss, who has ties to Bray Wyatt dating back to 2020. Bliss has been missing from WWE TV since January 2023 and gave birth to her daughter Hendrix last November. Bliss’ most recent TV appearance saw her be confronted by Uncle Howdy (albeit via Titantron) at the 2023 Royal Rumble PLE. 

With the rehiring of Erick Rowan, it certainly appears that WWE is building quite the collection of talent associated with Bray Wyatt. For now, though, fans will just have to keep deciphering clues as these QR code videos continue to have fans hooked. 

More On WWE’s QR Code Mystery

Here are some recent articles regarding WWE’s QR code mystery as fans await the likely return of Uncle Howdy and others:

The cryptic teases continue in build for what could potentially be a return for Bo Dallas and WWE had two different methods of such on SmackDown.

The one that was on air involved a sudden QR code appearing during Triple H’s entrance, but another tease happened in between commercial breaks. There was a point in the middle of the show where the lights dim and a Billie Holiday-like song began to play.

This prompted fans to light up their phones and it even prompted a Bo Dallas chant afterwards.

The Billie Holliday tune is playing during commercial. More tease for Bo Dallas? #SmackDown @sescoops pic.twitter.com/jdpgWMDtjE

— Dominic DeAngelo | 1TS (@DominicDeAngelo) April 20, 2024

What Is The Song That’s Playing?

Although the singer sounds like Billie Holiday, it’s actually a late artist by the name of Marti Amado and the song is called “Nightbird.” The lyrics certainly hearken to Wyatt Family allusions as you can read them below.

The nightbird calls and shadows creep

Into my mind, into my sleep

I do not know if I shall rise

Or open up these weary eyes

The withered trees, how they creak and moan

Beneath the moon, how the demons groan

They come to me and pull me down

Down into the swamp without a sound

I sink again, just like a stone

My body’s cold and I’m all alone

I do not think that I shall rise

Or open up these weary eyes

[Verse 2]

I sink once more, just like a stone

The darkness chills me to the bone

Th? water’s deep, I shall not rise

No more to lift th?se weary eyes

No more to lift these weary eyes

A big tease for a Bo Dallas (and potentially Uncle Howdy return) first sparked at the end of the Bray Wyatt documentary trailer and that’s when speculation began flying as to what could come for the future of the angle.

Recent free agent Matt Hardy began making posts about his past with Bray Wyatt and former Wyatt Family member Erik Rowan actually removed himself from an independent booking due to scheduling conflicts. Additionally, Braun Strowman is still apart of WWE.

Bo Dallas was reportedly playing Uncle Howdy back during Bray Wyatt’s return, but fans hadn’t seen the younger Rotunda brother for years since he and Curtis Axel were members of the B-Team.

Someone who is an advocate for a Bo Dallas return under the “Wyatt Universe” is the brothers’ father, WWE Hall Of Famer Mike Rotunda. Speaking with Peter Rosenberg, Rotunda talked about the potential of his sons flourishing with those gimmicks.

“Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family was one of my favorite gimmicks of all time. Both boys, I think they could have gotten a lot more mileage out of Bray Wyatt and the Wyatts, and also with Bo. Bo was the youngest NXT Champion they ever had. He was probably 18 or 19 years old. He caught the business quickly,”

Keep tabs on SEScoops as this storyline develops.

H/t to Fightful for the transcription.

WWE has kept the mysteries coming with a new QR code that has left the fans wondering what’s to come in the future. 

The QR code appeared briefly during the entrance of the New Day during the April 15, 2024, edition of WWE Monday Night Raw. Upon being scanned, the code takes fans to a screen with incomplete letters and a red grid background. Put the two rows of incomplete letters together and you get a link that takes you to the following video. 

A video from the qr code that was on raw…#WWERAW pic.twitter.com/B3tmbM17g8

— ?????? ? (@Theylovelus) April 16, 2024

The video includes the message ‘Time to wake up, take my hand. Things will be better. Trust Me.’ This new video comes after ‘glitches’ on both the April 8, edition of Raw and April 12, edition of SmackDown teased something big is coming. 

Decoding the Video

This video also includes an image of a man seeing the shadow of a bird that is being cast on a wall by somebody behind them holding the actual bird in front of a flame. This is a reference to the philosopher Plato and his cave allegory to explain existence. Plato argued in his work Republic that man spends his time looking at the cave and while the shadows that appear on the wall are man’s reality, they are not accurate representations of the real world and are merely a fraction of the actual reality. 

The video also includes an image of a crow or raven, both of which are birds associated with darkness. Both birds are scavengers and are generally associated with dead bodies. A group of crows is called a ‘murder’ while a group of ravens is an ‘unkindness.’

What’s to Come? 

Many believe these teases are building to the return of Uncle Howdy, previously played by Bo Dallas who has been under contract since 2022. WWE recently teased the return of Uncle Howdy following their Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal documentary. 

WWE used QR codes and bizarre videos in 2022 in the run-up to Wyatt’s return at that year’s Extreme Rules event. The ‘White Rabbit’ angle was praised by fans and pundits for its creativity and for WWE’s willingness to use a much different format than what fans were used to for a returning Superstar. 

Some have speculated that Uncle Howdy will not return alone, as there have been references to ‘us’ in previous teases. Alexa Bliss, who was aligned with Bray Wyatt has been speculated by fans to be part of this angle. Erick Redbeard’s recently signed contract that has kept him from competing on the indies has also led to the belief he could be involved. 

Two new statues of the late Bray Wyatt have been unveiled at the WWE World convention taking place in Philadelphia, PA ahead of WWE WrestleMania 40. 

Bray Wyatt tragically passed away in August of 2023 after being pulled from programming earlier that year. The three-time WWE World Champion was 36 years old and tributes have poured in for Wyatt ever since. 

At WWE World, WWE unveiled two statues of the late wrestler. One depicts Wyatt from his 2022 return to WWE, holding a lantern and a mask. The second depicts Wyatt during his time as ‘The Fiend’ which was a hit with audiences from 2019 until his WWE release in 2021. It also features a Fiend-inspired lantern. 

The Return of Uncle Howdy

At WWE World, a panel was hosted highlighting the life and career of Wyatt. The panel included some of the people who knew Bray best, including Big E, Natalya, Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, The Undertaker, his widow JoJo Offerman, and Wyatt’s brother Bo Dallas, among others. 

The panel proved to be an emotional event for the guests and the fans and there was a tease at the very end of the festivities. On a screen, a video was shown, teasing the return of Uncle Howdy. 

https://twitter.com/TraceDarabaris/status/1776639627064963279

Dallas played Uncle Howdy on WWE TV shortly after Wyatt’s return to the promotion in 2022. It’s unclear when or how WWE will reintroduce the Howdy character to TV. During the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, Bo and his sister Mika paid tribute to Wyatt during their induction speech for the US Express. 

Bo Dallas was Uncle Howdy alongside Bray Wyatt, and the two had a lot of plans in motion. Sadly, those creative plans never came to pass as Bray Wyatt was taken from us far too soon. Now, there could be hope that Dallas will be back.

WWE still has Bo Dallas under contract, and he has been so since 2022 when he returned. Now, a new report has given fans hope that hey might see him again.

Bo Dallas’ Possible WWE Return

Although Bo Dallas has not been seen on WWE television since donning the Uncle Howdy mask, a new report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select gives fans hope that he may be used on television again soon enough.

The end of the new Bray Wyatt documentary included a bit of a teaser, and it appears that it was for Bo Dallas.

In the final moments of the newly released Bray Wyatt documentary, viewers encounter familiar imagery. The video concludes with a signature ominous style reminiscent of Bray Wyatt, featuring a lantern panning out, followed by a voice commanding “run,” and the silhouette of a figure.

https://twitter.com/joelarias24/status/1774789529582334318

It is now reported that the teaser was indeed referring to Bo Dallas. At this time, we don’t have any expected return time for him, because they didn’t want to rush things.

WWE sources have told Fightful it’s a teaser for Bo Dallas’ eventual return. We don’t know when that will be, but that it was a deliberate inclusion. We also haven’t learned what a return could look like as of yet. One WWE rep noted to Fightful months ago that they didn’t want to rush Dallas back after the untimely passing of his brother Bray Wyatt. Dallas has remained under WWE contract since 2022.

Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal

Bray Wyatt left a legion of fans and untold stories behind. Sadly, he will never get to see those come to pass, but there may be a chance that Bo Dallas could return in some form, perhaps even as Uncle Howdy, to help tell some of those tales.

That new documentary is also reportedly tied to why Wyatt was not given an induction into the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame.

We will have to see what WWE has prepared for Bo Dallas. He was heavily featured in the documentary, “Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal” that debuted on Peacock and the WWE Network on April 1.

SEScoops will have more on this story if there are any updates. Please keep checking back throughout the day for more headlines!

With WWE 2K24 around the corner, excitement for the new game is at a fever pitch, with top stars like Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins all confirmed. 

While these three will have some of the highest ratings in the game, not everyone can have great stats, and there’ll always be somebody with the outright worst ranking in the game. In this feature, we look at some of the worst-ranked playable characters in WWE video games. 

Eric Bischoff – 52 – SmackDown: Here Comes The Pain

Perhaps it was a battle for brand supremacy that led to then-Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff having the lowest ranking in SmackDown: Here Comes The Pain. Bischoff’s martial arts prowess and all-black gi helped little whenever you played as him in the game. 

Ribbie – 60 – WWE 2K20

WWE 2K20 was a disaster of a game but it did give fans their first-ever playable anthropomorphic rack of ribs. Ribbie is the mascot of the Memphis Sliders, a minor baseball team, according to Byron Saxton, and with his BBQ sauce haircut, we imagine wrestlers weren’t eager to face him. 

Curt Hawkins – 64 – WWE 2K19

The master of the losing streak, Curt Hawkins’ unfortunate record was replicated with his woeful score in WWE 2K19. Nowadays, Hawkins is faring much better in TNA Wrestling as Brian Myers. 

Jimmy Hart – 67 – SmackDown Vs. Raw 2008

It makes sense that the Mouth of the South’s rating would be so low, given he very rarely wrestled. This ranking shows that in SVR ’08, Jimmy was best being kept at ringside. 

Bo Dallas – 67- WWE 2K17

All the Bo-lieving in the world couldn’t save Bo Dallas from this dreadful score in WWE 2K17. Good luck winning any titles as the third-generation wrestler! His brother Bray would be well ahead of Bo in the game with a score of 87. 

Sawyer Fulton – 69 – WWE 2K18

The forgotten member of Sanity, Sawyer Fulton’s 69 is the worst in the entire WWE 2K18 game. What makes this worse is that this would mark Fulton’s first and only time in a video game. 

Eric Bischoff (again) – 69 – WWE 2K22

Things clearly picked up for Easy-E between Here Comes The Pain and WWE 2K22, but that wasn’t enough to save him from having the worst rating once again. Sorry Eric!

Michael Cole & Jim Ross – 71 – WWE ’12

These WWE commentators shared the same woeful rating in WWE ’12, so it’s only fair we lump them together. Frankly though, why anyone would play as either man, especially Cole, is anyone’s guess. 

Bray Wyatt’s passing hit the pro wrestling like a ton of bricks. It still doesn’t feel real for many, as he is still missed to this day. Now, WWE is undertaking a new project to tell his story.

WWE’s New Bray Wyatt Project

WWE has embarked on a new Bray Wyatt project, but we don’t have a ton of details about it yet. PW Insider reports that this new project started within the past week, and Bo Dallas sat down for an interview. 

Dallas, who was present in Pittsburgh for the filming, was reportedly joined by Jason Baker of Callosum Studio as well. Baker is well-recognized for crafting Wyatt’s Fiend mask.

Although this project could air on Peacock or A&E, currently, there is no confirmation on the project’s platform. We can only assume that wherever it lands, fans will tune in to see it.

What WWE Is Doing For Bray Wyatt’s Family

WWE has ensured comprehensive support for Bray Wyatt’s family following his passing. JoJo Offerman is receiving the entirety of the proceeds from all merchandise sales associated with him. The company made this commitment shortly after the news of his untimely departure became public.

WWE made Bray Wyatt an official legend by putting him under a contract that will ensure that his family is taken care of.

Bo Dallas remains under WWE contract, and it appears that he will play a role in this project celebrating his brother’s life. We have no word about any possibility of Uncle Howdy’s television return, and I have asked around, but there have never been any talks about that happening.

Bray Wyatt’s passing didn’t just rob the world of a great man, but so many mind-blowing creative moments also never came to pass. Wyatt was deep into an angle with his real-life brother, Bo Dallas under that Uncle Howdy mask, but even after Wyatt’s passing, Dallas is still with the company.

Bo Dallas’ WWE Status Revealed

When Bray Wyatt faced health problems last year, WWE removed him and his brother Bo Dallas from television. Initially, there was hope for their return together after Wyatt’s recovery. Sadly, this expectation was shattered when Wyatt passed away at 36 due to a heart attack during sleep.

PW Insider Elite has now confirmed that, despite being inactive, Dallas remains an employee of the company. He is still on their payroll, even though he is not booked in a current television storyline.

Bo Dallas had a 13-year run with WWE, ending in an April 2021 release due to budgetary cuts. His last in-ring appearance was in November 2019. Initially, WWE cited a lack of creative plans for his absence.

However, Dallas later revealed a broken neck, leading to his hiatus for recovery. His unexpected return in 2022 as Uncle Howdy surprised many fans.

While unconfirmed, it is reported that internal speculation suggests Wyatt, who had recently returned to WWE at the time, might have influenced Dallas’s re-hiring. Sadly, Howdy and Wyatt never had much time together in the ring.

Who is Bo Dallas?

Bo Dallas’ real name is Taylor Michael Rotunda. He is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda, who wrestled as IRS, and the brother of Windham Rotunda, who we all knew as Bray Wyatt. That family connection continued until the end, as their Uncle Howdy storyline never had a chance to really play out as they envisioned it.

Dallas is still under WWE contract, but it’s unknown whether WWE will ever use the Uncle Howdy character again. I asked a couple of months ago when this rumor first surfaced, and I was told by multiple members of the creative team that, at the time, there is and was no talk of bringing Uncle Howdy back.

WWE Is Taking Care of Bray Wyatt’s Family

WWE has taken great care of Bray Wyatt’s family since his passing. JoJo Offerman is receiving 100% of the proceeds from all of his merchandise that they sell. The company made this declaration shortly after news of his passing broke.

Wyatt was also put under a Legends Contract to ensure that the company will continue providing for his family for a very long time to come.

Our thoughts are still with JoJo Offerman, Bray’s children, and his family. He is gone, but his name will live on forever. 

Fans have wondered who is behind the mysterious Uncle Howdy since the character made his first appearance on WWE television. 

Various names have been speculated, from Bo Dallas to Vincent to Cameron Grimes.

As previously reported, WWE has been playing its cards close to its chest with the character as the person behind the costume wears the mask backstage to hide their identity. It looks like fans are one step closer to finding out who is behind the Uncle Howdy mask.

Confirmation? 

PWInsider and Fightful Select report that former WWE star Bo Dallas, the brother of Bray Wyatt, is backstage at tonight’s Raw show in Birmingham, Alabama. 

On last week’s WWE Monday Night Raw, Alexa Bliss viciously attacked Bianca Belair during their Raw Women’s Championship match, which led to Belair needing stitches from the attack. WWE has confirmed that Bliss will explain her actions last week on tonight’s show. 

With Dallas being present backstage, it would sure seem that Dallas is the man behind the Uncle Howdy mask.

Bray Wyatt is set for his first match since returning to WWE at the Royal Rumble by taking on LA Knight in a Pitch Black match.

Bray Wyatt has made his long-awaited return to WWE, and his real-life brother Bo Dallas is reportedly not far behind.

Wyatt, a former Universal Champion, returned at last night’s Extreme Rules Premium Live Event, ending the show to a thunderous ovation from the live crowd.

Bo Dallas

Bryan Alverez, through the ‘superfollowers’ function on his Twitter account, reports that Wyatt is expected back “very soon,” according to multiple sources within WWE.

Dallas was released by WWE in April 2021, over a year and a half after what would become his last match for the company.

Dallas signed with WWE in 2008, and would have an impressive run in NXT, including becoming the third-ever NXT Champion.

Joining the main roster in 2014, Dallas would hold the Raw Tag Team Championships (with Curtis Axel) and briefly be 24/7 Champion, before his release.

Outside of the ring, Dallas is in a relationship with current WWE Superstar Liv Morgan, who lost the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Extreme Rules.

Future Plans

It is unclear what WWE has planned for Dallas, but this report coming so soon after his brother’s comeback is interesting.

Some have suggested that Dallas could join forces with his brother as part of a new Wyatt family stable, the first time the pair would be aligned on WWE’s main roster.

It is also possible that Bo’s return will not be connected to his brother at all, and that he will be a singles Superstar in his own storyline.

In April 2022, Dallas hinted that he would be wrestling again soon.

Former WWE Superstar Bo Dallas (Taylor Rotunda) is gearing up for a return to the ring.

Rotunda was released by WWE on April 15, 2021. During his 13 years with the company, he was a 3-time FCW Heavyweight Champion, an NXT Champion and a Raw tag team champion (with Curtis Axel).

Over the weekend, Rotunda and his father, Mike Rotunda (“I.R.S.”) appeared at the For The Love of Wrestling convention in the UK.

Rotunda was asked about his future in pro wrestling and gave an answer his longtime fans will be thrilled to hear.

“I’ll be back in the ring really really soon, I promise.”

– Taylor Rotunda

Rotunda said he’s “absolutely not” done with wrestling and never lost his love for the sport. Since his WWE release, he’s spent the past year diving into a bunch of ventures.

“Within the next two to three months, you’ll see me back in the ring, somewhere, very soon, because the love of wrestling has never left me, and I’ve always known I was coming back to it soon,” he said.

He was asked about his favorite match. Rotunda named his ladder match against Adrian Neville (AEW star PAC) at NXT Takeover: Arrival back in 2014.

He said PAC is his favorite opponent to work with and he’s looking forward to the possibility of getting back in the ring with him some time very soon. You can draw your own conclusions about his future based on this remark.

Watch Bo Dallas (Taylor Rotunda) confirm his return to wrestling:

Despite claiming that he wasn’t done with the business, Bo Dallas has not been seen inside a wrestling ring since his WWE release in 2021. However, he is now promising to return very soon.

The former NXT champion recently took part in a virtual signing with Captain’s Corner. Among other things, he also provided some update on his in-ring future.

Dallas first mentioned that he has been busy with other business ventures since his release. He then claimed that he will be back in the ring within the next couple months:

“Not saying I’m done with wrestling or that’s what I’ve been saying for the past year and now that I’ve got that squared away and that’s in the works, I can get back to my passion.

I will be back in the ring in the next couple of months” revealed Bo Dallas, “And that’s a guarantee because I don’t make promises I don’t deliver on.”

The former WWE star also responded to a comment saying that he belongs in AEW. He said that while he appreciates the remark, he is not sure anyone knows what to do with him.

Though continuing on the topic, Dallas said that he takes the remark as a compliment. He noted that showing up in AEW is not out the realm of possibility.
