The Immediate Aftermath
Uncle Howdy’s debut in WWE, along with the emergence of the Wyatt 6, generated significant fan enthusiasm, especially given the legacy of Bray Wyatt. The character of Uncle Howdy, portrayed by Bo Dallas (Bray Wyatt’s brother), added an emotional depth to the storyline following the untimely passing of Bray Wyatt.
The Wyatt Sick6, a rumored faction linked to Bray Wyatt’s legacy, stirred excitement and speculation among fans about the potential members and the direction of this narrative. Uncle Howdy’s eerie persona and cryptic promos captured the audience’s imagination, reminiscent of the intrigue that surrounded the original Wyatt Family. The character’s unique presentation and the mystery surrounding him contributed to a sense of anticipation and excitement, honoring Bray Wyatt’s creative spirit.
So much so that social media users made early calls for Uncle Howdy to be the one to dethrone Cody Rhodes as WWE Undisputed Champion. This idea taps into the long-standing appeal of the Wyatt family’s storytelling and their ability to create compelling narratives. Cody Rhodes, having established himself as a top babyface in WWE, presents a prime target for a dark and enigmatic character like Uncle Howdy.
An analysis of this potential storyline reveals several factors that could make it successful:
Character Contrast:
Cody Rhodes represents the classic hero, with his determination and family legacy driving his narrative. Uncle Howdy, with his mysterious and malevolent aura, would provide a stark contrast, creating a classic hero vs. villain dynamic that resonates with audiences.
Storytelling Depth:
The layers of Bray Wyatt’s characters have always been rich with backstory and psychological elements. Integrating Uncle Howdy into a feud with Cody Rhodes would allow for a storyline with depth, exploring themes of darkness and redemption creating a psychological storyline while honoring Bray Wyatt’s creative legacy.
Fan Investment:
Both Cody Rhodes and the Wyatt family have passionate fan bases. A feud between them, especially with the high stakes of the WWE Undisputed Championship, would likely draw significant interest and investment from the WWE Universe.
In-Ring Chemistry:
Fans know Cody Rhodes and Bo Dallas (as Uncle Howdy) for their strong in-ring storytelling abilities. While the Uncle Howdy character presents the possibility of an enigmatic in-ring style, Bo Dallas once held the NXT Championship for 280 days. Their matches would likely be compelling, with a blend of psychological warfare and physical prowess, in a way that Bray Wyatt’s Fiend never had.
In conclusion, the enthusiasm for Uncle Howdy’s debut and the Wyatt 6 is rooted in the captivating storytelling that Bray Wyatt consistently brought to WWE. The prospect of Uncle Howdy challenging Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship offers a fresh and intriguing storyline that could captivate fans and elevate both characters while paying tribute to Bray Wyatt’s enduring influence on WWE. In short, a WWE Championship Picture dominated by Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sick6 could bring fan engagement and merchandise sales to new heights.
