WWE: Monday Night Raw (Uncle Howdy and Friends Return)

For over 70+ days, Uncle Howdy's return has been creeping upon us. This stems from the ending of Bray Wyatt's documentary, where Taylor Rountunda teased that Uncle Howdy would be coming back after the passing of his brother Windham. 

I'm not going to lie, I have been pretty hype about this. The QR codes have been slowly telling a story that we never really saw coming. Creepy characters, missing people, and an story of being forgotten and being found again.

It wasn't until within the last few weeks, it was confirmed.. this return wasn't just Uncle Howdy. There would be guest with him. It was then revealed we would have multiple reveals and they would tie into The Firefly Funhouse. 

In the most recent QR codes: there were pictures (unclear and distorted) of each person, in which leading to possible clues on who would be their first victim.

I won't lie, I didn't catch it at first. I can't recall which picture, but one revealed "you changed, you stopped saying thank you". It wasn't until I had saw a thread on twitter talking about how the first victim could be Chad Gable. But if you think about it, it totally made sense. Chad changed completely from how his charcter was. He is no longer nice, he does in fact... not say "thank you" anymore, and he basically turned his back on his "family". 

Going into Raw, I think that is what everyone was waiting on. When Chad has his match, we were all waiting on it to happen. However, we DID see IT happen.. as Otis finally snapped on Chad. My husband Jordan was a little bummed out, which.. we kind of thought that it was a flop OR that the focus would be on maybe the judgement day or Jey Uso. 

I don't know what I expected going into how the reveal was going to take place. However, I did NOT expect this. 

The 3 way match was pretty good in my opinion. And we KNEW something was going to happen when we realized that they turned off the lights up front at the entrance. Not only that, but the camera angels were always away from that side too. 

Jey Uso won the match (rightfully) and began to celebrate with the fireflies. However, we were still waiting to see what was to be revealed. I'm not gonna lie, I looked at my husband and said.. there is no way they just dooped us. Then... the lights went out.. in Fiend fashion. My heart... literally dropped. 

With the lights out, and the fireflies making their selves know.. Shatter began to play, and we are shown the door. This brought back so many feelings. I was about to start crying, not even going to lie. The door opens and slowly but surely we are met with a woman creepy crawling her way to the lantern. It is then revealed that it is none other than Nikki Cross. As she stands, she points to the back. We then follow back to the back, where we are met with bodies stacked up (about 3) with another character standing there. It is revealed that this is none other than Rowan (Redbeard). After that, we go into gorilla position, where there has quite literally been a massacre. The whole area is trashed, smoke everywhere, titles are missing and broken, bodies everywhere, and sparks flying. I'm not gonna lie, it was CREEPY. We are shown our next character that is squatting on top of the boxes which is revealed to be Dexter Lumis. We head through the curtain to immediately be met with the next character which is revealed to be Joe Gacey. As we make our way through, we see more bodies, and one familiar one. It is none other than Chad Gable. He looks pretty messed up, and they made it a point to make his attack look purposeful. Panning up, we are met with our final character. Finally, we see Uncle Howdy. Seriously, he looks AMAZING. The hat (with the red circle), the dreads, the mask.. Moving forward we see Uncle Howdy meet each character throughout the way to the front. They all return to the door to meet Nikki... they are gathered together. Uncle Howdy retrieves the lantern, and announces "WE'RE HERE".

This really took me by a surprise. I mean, I recall some of the QR codes saying it was going to be a massacre, but I didn't think they meant literally. I didn't exactly know what to expect overall, but this just blew whatever I had in mind.. completely out of the water. It was very well done, and I know Windham is so proud of Taylor for this. 

I have previously heard (not confirmed) that this was the plan all along. That Uncle Howdy and Bray would be a team of sorts, and down the line (I want to say over the span of a year or less) the characters would be revealed. If that is true, that is wonderful! 

With the sudden passing of Windham, the Wyatt Sicks is a beautiful tribute and continuation of his legacy. I know Taylor will do great at this new adventure.

From here.. where do you see the Wyatt Sicks going? Where will they show up next? And who will be their next victim?

 

Nikki Cross- Abby the Witch
Rowan (Redbeard)- Ramblin Rabbit
