Windham Rotunda, fondly known by WWE fans as Bray Wyatt was one of the greatest performers to grace the ring of WWE. During his time in the promotion, he has portrayed a variety of gimmicks. He is mostly known for his The Eater of the Worlds and The Fiend gimmick. Apart from these, he is also known for his one twisted character, Uncle Howdy. Although it was short-lived, fans loved to see that character.

After a month of his passing, some rumors are going around. And it involves our Uncle Howdy.

The star in question is Taylor Rotunda, aka Bo Dallas. Dallas might reprise one of his brother’s fabled gimmicks. However, according to the sources, there is no word on when fans could get to see him. But there are possibilities that he might grace our screens after the Survivor Series, somewhere around December or January. Uncle Howdy represented the dark side of Bray Wyatt. It was the personification of his inner demons. At times, the gimmick would take control of him, and fans witnessed the eerie character in full force.

The rumors of the gimmick being reprised come in days after the WWE made a major change to their roster page to tribute to the late star.

The world of WWE is still scarred by the passing of the former champion. Along with different stars, even the promotion is still paying tribute to The Fiend. In this recent move, WWE made a major change to their roster page. The stars are arranged in alphabetical order on the page. But right in the beginning, next to AJ Styles we can see Bray Wyatt’s iconic chair.

The chair is a part of his The Eater of the World’s gimmick. The thing to consider here is the special tribute WWE gave. There are a lot of stars whose names come before Wyatt, but he was put in the first row. And his tile is bigger in dimensions to show the impact he had. Bray Wyatt was with WWE for roughly a decade. In this short span, he had captivated everyone with his storytelling. He passed away at the end of August 2023
