WWE veteran reacts to emotional Uncle Howdy-Bo Dallas segment on RAW
WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his thoughts on a recent segment from Monday Night RAW that left fans buzzing. The segment featured a tense exchange between the mysterious Uncle Howdy and Bo Dallas.
On the June 24 installment of WWE's flagship show, a member of The Wyatt Sicks dropped a VHS tape that showed a conversation between Dallas and Howdy. The "sinister friends" group leader asked the 34-year-old star how he was coping with the loss of his brother Bray Wyatt (real name: Windham Rotunda).
Speaking on an episode of the Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray mentioned that on RAW, it was not Bo Dallas who was talking about his brother, but fans heard from Taylor Rotunda (Bo's real name). The Hall of Famer noted that the former NXT Champion was not acting when he spoke emotionally about Wyatt.
"I don't think we heard from Bo Dallas last night. I think we heard from Taylor Rotunda. Bo Dallas is some name that they picked off a piece of paper when he went to NXT... There was no Bo Dallas in that kid sitting across from Uncle Howdy. That was the brother of Windham Rotunda, his name is Taylor Rotunda. When I saw that and I listened... there was no acting last night with Taylor," Ray said.
The 52-year-old WWE legend added:
"That was as real as it gets. Real emotion. Real feeling. You're hearing from the real person who really went through his brother's untimely death." Ray was thoroughly impressed with Rotunda's words and even thinks he's superseded his previous tenure." (H/T - Wrestling Inc.)

Former WWE writer highlights a major problem with Bo Dallas and Uncle Howdy segment on RAW
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo spoke about the heartfelt yet spine-chilling conversation between Dallas and his alter ego, Uncle Howdy.
During an appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Russo claimed that Michael Cole detailing the discussion between The Wyatt Sicks' leader and the former WWE NXT Champion would have been more credible.
"If this is real, we are coming back to an on-camera, and Michael Cole is going to give his feelings about it. Michael Cole is gonna talk about what he just saw. If this were real, that's how it would go down. But that's not what they do because they're a wrestling company," he said.

The WWE Universe will have to wait and see what the future holds for the Uncle Howdy-led faction in the company.
