WWE has been on fire for the better part of the past two years. The business has improved multiple times over ever since Vince McMahon first retired in 2022. Despite his short-lived return in 2023 leading to some disruptions, the company remains doing big business.
Part of the fun of this era is new performers appear and past stars return on a somewhat regular basis. For example, the likes of Ilja Dragunov, Blair Davenport, Baron Corbin, and Dijak have all been called up to the main roster. This blends returning names and those new to the main roster.
Another name seemingly returning to programming is Bo Dallas under his Uncle Howdy persona. He technically returned to the company in 2022 to perform alongside Bray Wyatt, but Wyatt's health issues and eventual passing in 2023 led to Howdy leaving television.
Now the former NXT Champion hopes to make a splash upon his return, but what might he do? How could he re-debut? This article will take a look at a handful of ways Bo Dallas can make his comeback under the Uncle Howdy gimmick.
Below are four ways Uncle Howdy can make his WWE return.
#4. The Wyatt 6 could attack Jey Uso on WWE RAW
Jey Uso is an incredibly popular WWE performer. He rose to fame as one half of The Usos, but really blew up in The Bloodline and then once he left the stable. Today, Jey is a top babyface on Monday Night RAW.
Some fans have begun piecing together a potential storyline featuring Jey Uso and Uncle Howdy and his Wyatt 6. Ever since WWE Backlash France, Jey has incorporated "fireflies" in his entrance, something previously reserved for Bray Wyatt.
There is a chance that Uncle Howdy and The Wyatt 6, a group dedicated to the late-great former champion, will see this as disrespect. As a result, they could debut by brutally attacking Jey and sending a violent message to the rest of the locker room.
#3. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross could help Liv Morgan dethrone Becky Lynch
Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch have a big-time match coming up. The two will be going one-on-one at the 2024 WWE King and Queen of the Ring event in Saudi Arabia. The Man's Women's World Championship will be on the line.
While there's no clear indication as to how the bout may go, it could see interference from two rumored members of Uncle Howdy's stable. Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss, two talented women and former tag team champions could appear alongside Howdy and disrupt the bout.
Given that this new WWE stable will likely be villainous, they could help Liv dethrone The Man. This wouldn't necessarily be due to an alliance with The Miracle Kid, however, but instead setting up a rivalry between Big Time Becks and the duo of The Twisted Sister and The Goddess.
#2. The Wyatt 6 could shockingly help Cody Rhodes at King and Queen of the Ring
It is expected that The Wyatt 6 and Uncle Howdy will be heels upon their formation in WWE. This is reasonable to expect, as most stables are villainous. This is especially true if they debut as a unit. Still, there's no guarantee that will be the case.
Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, Alexa Bliss, Joe Gacy, and Dexter Lumis, supposing this is indeed the lineup, could return to WWE as babyfaces. In fact, they could debut in the biggest babyface way possible: helping Cody Rhodes.
The American Nightmare will be clashing with Logan Paul at the next Premium Live Event. With Paul involved, A-Town Down Under and Paul's influencer friends will likely try getting involved. The Wyatt 6 could debut by running off both the tag champions and any friends of Paul to allow Cody to win fair and square.
#1. Uncle Howdy could renew his rivalry with LA Knight
As noted, Uncle Howdy first re-joined WWE in 2022 alongside Bray Wyatt. While he briefly appeared to be The Eater Of Worlds' tormenter, they soon aligned together. Their first target as a unit was LA Knight.
The Megastar had to try to fight off both creepy superstars, but ultimately failed in doing so. He lost his match and the war, but in the year since then, LA Knight has risen to fame far greater than anyone expected.
If Uncle Howdy is indeed returning to WWE television, he could do so by once again targeting LA Knight. Their feud could be kickstarted a second time, but now with LA being a much bigger and more credible name on the roster. In theory, this could make Howdy a major player immediately.
