Uncle Howdy's presence has been widely felt not just on WWE's weekly shows, but also on their social media and different platforms. It has been widely believed that he won't return alone, and a recent teaser may have hinted at who will join him upon his return.

Uncle Howdy's character was first introduced in WWE in 2022 after Bray Wyatt's return. The identity of the character remains unconfirmed, but it is widely believed to be Bo Dallas, the real-life brother of Bray. The mysterious character became absent after Wyatt's untimely passing, but now it seems like he is gearing up for a return after dropping several hints in the past few months.

One of the most recent clues came from the company's Twitch stream, wherein a woman, presumably The Fiend's former therapist, was talking to a client, possibly Howdy. However, it's possible that the woman was not talking to Howdy but instead to Dexter Lumis.

At one point during the exchange between the therapist and the client, the former stated that her client was a really good artist and the person never responded during the stream.

For those unaware, one of Dexter's notable traits while in NXT was drawing caricatures, whether to taunt his enemies or to show his love for Indi Hartwell. The star previously expressed that he became interested in drawing as a child and even has a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts.

Who else could join Uncle Howdy in the Wyatt 6 in WWE?

Fans last saw Dexter in action on the May 29, 2023, episode of Main Event against Akira Tozawa. Although he has kept fans updated on social media, he hasn't appeared on WWE television since. Interestingly, he is not the only absent star who may join Howdy.

According to a report from PWInsider, Uncle Howdy won't return alone but will be joined by four other superstars. These include Joe Gacy, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, and Erick Rowan, with Bray possibly still seen as a group member. The first three stars have not been seen on WWE programming for a while, and reports indicate that Erick has re-signed with the company. Despite this, a tease on last week's Monday Night RAW could also indicate that Alexa Bliss is a member.
