Major hint that Uncle Howdy could be debuting on WWE TV soon
The WWE Universe is buzzing ahead of the highly anticipated return of Uncle Howdy. The mysterious character is rumored to be bringing several familiar faces with him, and new information has surfaced that looks to be a major sign that he might return soon.
Uncle Howdy was previously rumored to be portrayed by Bo Dallas, the brother of the late, Bray Wyatt. The Eater of Worlds was the creative mind behind Howdy and the rest of the Wyatt Universe.
It was recently reported that a Wyatt 6-inspired faction is set to be introduced soon, led by Uncle Howdy. The group is also rumored to feature Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, and Nikki Cross, with the idea that Bray would be the sixth member, but none of these plans have been confirmed yet.
The Stamford-based promotion has continued with the Uncle Howdy teasers on WWE programming lately. Now the company has released two new t-shirts that also appear to be related. The WWE Shop description box notes that they are 'Special Event Items' that will be shipped no later than Wednesday, June 12, which is three days before Clash at the Castle: Scotland.
The new t-shirts, priced at $32.99, are labeled as Cavebird 1 and Cavebird 2. They are not listed in any Superstar category, but Howdy's "Set Them Free" line is featured prominently.
Uncle Howdy and his new merchandise are trending topics of discussion on social media this afternoon. The WWE Shop sales tracker on each individual product page shows that fans are steadily making purchases, while both t-shirts are already climbing the Top Sellers list.
