Bo Dallas speaks about portraying Uncle Howdy on WWE television.
Following Bray Wyatt's return to WWE in 2022, he brought with him his brother Bo, who began to portray the character of Uncle Howdy on WWE television. Following Bray's tragic passing in 2023, Dallas continued to portray the Uncle Howdy character and has formed The Wyatt Sicks on Monday Night RAW.
While speaking on the Headlock wrestling podcast, Bo was asked about his first appearance as Uncle Howdy after the passing of his brother Bray. Bo responded that there were a lot of emotions, and that he has felt like Bray has been with him every time he steps through the curtain as Uncle Howdy.
"A lot of emotions. I knew I was coming back to wrestling. Like I said, right before Windham's passing, we got so excited about this that we needed to come back. When he did pass, obviously I needed some time. But as that was going away or I was working through that, I knew I had to come back for him. Obviously all that was going on in my mind. endless thoughts. Can I do this? What's this going to be like? But on that night and every night since when I hear that music and I feel like he's with me. I really do. Any doubts or fear, I like change. It's like he gives me the strength to do it. It's more strength than I've ever had in any other instance in wrestling. When I go out, I believe in it so much that I'm not even the same person when I'm out there. I'm more Uncle Howdy than I am Bo Dallas than I am Taylor Rotunda. If you were to have a conversation with me out there, it wouldn't be the same person that you're talking to right now."
As of this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, Uncle Howdy and the rest of The Wyatt Sicks have turned their attention to The Miz and The Final Testament. You can read more about that here.
