Heartbreaking connection, potential story - 4 subtle hints and teases Uncle Howdy revealed on WWE RAW
Uncle Howdy finally arrived with his faction on the latest episode of WWE RAW and in the true Bray Wyatt fashion, they did not disappoint. The Wyatt Sicks has finally made their debut on TV and the group now consists of Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis seemingly, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and Bo Dallas.
While it was a showstopping debut from the group, there were some teases, changes, and potential hints surrounding their future as part of the segment.
The following list looks at just four subtle hints and teases Uncle Howdy revealed on Monday Night RAW.
#4. Erick Rowan's heartwarming tribute
Erick Rowan was the Rambling Rabbit during the Wyatt Sicks segment on the latest episode of RAW. He was revealed to have been the idea that the late Bray Wyatt "rambled" in his promos throughout his time in WWE. Wyatt had a connection to the Rambling Rabbit and it was a hammer, like the one Rowan was holding during the segment.
Rowan also managed to pay tribute to the late Luke Harper, using his mask which he once wore as a member of The Bludgeon Brothers, to make the back of his new mask. The old Wyatt Family logo was also on the back of his jacket, showing that he was able to pay tribute to both former stablemates as part of his new character.
#3. Uncle Howdy's major appearance change
Uncle Howdy has been seen on WWE TV before, but it is seemingly clear that Bo Dallas has given him an upgrade. When he appeared on the latest episode of RAW, he decided to reenact The Fiend's traditional dance before it was shown that he now had dreadlocks.
Howdy did not originally have dreadlocks, but it seems that he has decided to incorporate Bray Wyatt's most recognizable feature into Howdy and changed up the mask enough to allow it to show his beard. Howdy clearly went through several changes but also remained true to the late Bray Wyatt's creation.
#2. Chad Gable was targeted earlier in the night
Uncle Howdy may have appeared later in the night, but it seems that he was watching the show throughout and trying to decide who could be his next prey. Chad Gable was being closely watched by the Rambling Rabbit while the rest of the members of the Alpha Academy turned against him. Additionally, Seth Rollins was also being watched during his promo with Damian Priest, and the main event match was closely watched by Howdy himself.
It seems that Uncle Howdy was closely waiting for his time to strike in the true Fiend fashion before taking out the whole locker room.
#1. Wyatt Sicks took out several major stars including a former ally
One interesting fact about the arrival of the Wyatt Sicks on the latest episode of RAW is that it seems Braun Strowman was not chosen as a member of the horrific faction, given the fact that he was a member of The Wyatt Family before. There was a belief that The Monster Among Men would align with the Wyatt Sicks but that is no longer the case.
During the latest edition of RAW, Strowman was one of the men who were attacked backstage by Mercy the Buzzard, since he chased Ludwig Kaiser into the backstage area. Kaiser himself was also attacked and can be seen at the feet of Erick Rowan. Chad Gable is another name that many fans spotted while Xavier Woods could have been among the victims of the "massacre" as well.
