After months of teases and whispers, the WWE Universe finally witnessed the much-anticipated return of Uncle Howdy and the debut of his new faction. During their spine-chilling appearance on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, they paid tribute to the late Bray Wyatt. The sinister faction also commemorated the late Brodie Lee, who was also known as Luke Harper in the Stamford-based promotion.
It occurred when Erick Rowan, a member of Uncle Howdy's Wyatt Sicks group, was spotted hiding behind the Rambling Rabbit's mask. Rowan was seen with a huge hammer in his hand, resting on his shoulder. It was a subtle tribute to The Bludgeon Brothers' hammer that Luke Harper and he once used to have in WWE.
For those unaware, The Bludgeon Brothers was a tag team consisting of Rowan and Harper that dominated SmackDown during 2017-18. During their entrances, they used to carry hammers on their shoulders as part of their gimmick. Therefore, Uncle Howdy's faction honored the legacy of the late Brodie Lee by showing The Bludgeon Brothers' hammer.
Erick Rowan and Luke Harper made their WWE debuts as part of The Wyatt Family, which was led by the late Bray Wyatt. Both Wyatt and Harper left behind a legacy that will forever be cherished. Therefore, Uncle Howdy's faction commemorating both The New Face of Fear and The Exalted One on Monday Night RAW was equally emotional for fans.
How did Uncle Howdy's faction pay tribute to the late Bray Wyatt on WWE RAW?
The latest episode of Monday Night RAW witnessed one of the most spine-chilling endings as Uncle Howdy made his presence felt along with his faction on the show. The terrifying group paid tribute to the late Bray Wyatt as well.
When lights went off in the arena following the main event match, a member of the Wyatt Sicks faction was seen crawling out of a mysterious door towards a lantern casting an ethereal light. It was a subtle tribute to The Eater of Worlds, as Wyatt made a similar entrance during his return to the Stamford-based promotion in November 2022.
During the entrance of The New Face of Fear at Extreme Rules 2022, he came out from a mystical door in a similar fashion. Hence, Uncle Howdy's faction honored the legacy of the late Bray Wyatt by recreating the same.
The same lantern that Bray carried as part of his gimmick in WWE was shown. Uncle Howdy extinguished the lantern's light in the same manner as Wyatt had, honoring the cult leader.
