39-year-old WWE star to be revealed as the secret leader of Uncle Howdy's faction? Exploring the potential
Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks are finally here and they mean business, but could it be that they have a secret leader pulling the strings that WWE has not revealed yet? The hints seem to be indicating exactly that.
Drew McIntyre may be the one pulling all the strings.
On this week's episode of WWE RAW, after months of teasing and QR codes, Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks faction finally arrived and made an immediate statement. Over the weeks, the message, "a massacre is coming" had been popping up repeatedly and this was what happened. The faction delivered on the promise, destroying everyone who was backstage and leaving carnage in their wake.
The entire segment can be seen below:
However, putting that aside there is a chance that a big hint was dropped about a secret leader for Uncle Howdy and his faction. Throughout the hints, there have been references to a mysterious him, which could be a reference to Bray Wyatt, but also a new leader.
Now that the faction has finally made its debut, it comes at an odd time. All this time, there was talk of injustice, and one superstar in particular has been talking about the same on RAW - Drew McIntyre.
Today, it was the end of his patience, and McIntyre finally decided to "quit" WWE and left the company. He left the building and it was some hours after that the attack took place. He said he was done and that everyone was to blame.
He also made a cryptic statement that Triple H had everyone fooled from the top to the bottom - something that could be hinting at what's to come.
That's exactly what happened as no one backstage appeared to be spared from the attack by the faction when they finally arrived.
Could Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks not only be representing Bray Wyatt but also have Drew McIntyre as their secret leader?
At first glance, the idea seems odd given McIntyre has not really been related to the Uncle Howdy debut or attacks. However, the faction appears to be on a mission for revenge and that's exactly what Drew wanted after losing out on his World Heavyweight Title opportunity once again thanks to CM Punk.
He blamed everyone present in the absence of Punk, and with the Straight Edge Superstar appearing on SmackDown this week, it remains to be seen if he will be targeted as well.
The coming weeks and months should reveal more, but even if McIntyre is behind the faction, it may be a long time before it's revealed.
