Bray Wyatt's former partner could return to WWE and join Uncle Howdy
Bray Wyatt and 'Broken' Matt Hardy formed a unique tag team back in the day. The duo also went on to have a run with the WWE Tag Team Championship in 2018.
A vignette teasing Uncle Howdy's return was shown during one of the TV shows, sparking speculation among fans. Matt Hardy reacted to the vignette on his YouTube channel, hinting at possibly joining Uncle Howdy.
"I did catch that... interesting, very, very interesting. You know I have a very long and storied history with Windham Rotunda [Bray Wyatt]. So, I think that's cool that the word 'Broken' somehow slipped in there. Who knows? Anything can happen in the extreme life of Matt Hardy, so that was a very cool thing," Matt Hardy said.
Hardy added that he loved seeing these cryptic vignettes, describing them as supplementary content to the wrestling show that fans can explore while trying to unravel the mystery.
It will be intriguing to see how the Stamford-based company portrays Uncle Howdy in Bray Wyatt's absence and how the character is integrated into current storylines moving forward.
