Brother: Bo Dallas

Enter c — The sport certainly runs in the family!

ray Wyatt and his brother Bo Dallas grew up very close. They are only separated by 3-years, with Bray being the eldest at 31-years old and Bo being 28-years of age. As they were coming up as children, they were privy to witnessing the sport of professional wrestling first-hand as their father was on the road with the WWE hundreds of days per year. This would prove to be an advantage for the brothers as they were able to learn so much about the industry, at such a young age.

While Bray and Bo were both coming up through the developmental ranks in Florida Championship Wrestling and then NXT, the brothers were occasionally placed together in tag team action. However, they both found more success on the solo route.

Now Bray and Bo are both thriving on the main roster, performing as WWE RAW Superstars. In fact, Bo and his tag team partner, Curtis Axel recently defeated Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy, to become the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions. It appears that Bray may very well be headed back to singles competition in the near future if he does move forward with the split from Matt Hardy.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.

When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
