A new stable is set to make waves in WWE, featuring a lineup of wrestlers who have been off television for an extended period. For months, WWE fans have been teased with cryptic QR codes and mysterious messages during events, culminating in a recent ominous warning on WWE’s website: “A Massacre Is Coming.”
This buildup is leading to the highly anticipated return of Bo Dallas as Uncle Howdy, spearheading a new faction that pays tribute to the late Bray Wyatt. The stable will include Bo Dallas, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, and Joe Gacy, among others.
Bo Dallas’ Return as Uncle Howdy
Bo Dallas has been under contract with WWE since 2022, despite not wrestling for the past two years. Fans have speculated about his involvement in the mysterious Uncle Howdy character, especially after Bray Wyatt’s return in late 2022. Dallas’ return in this new stable aims to honor his brother, Bray Wyatt, and reignite his career with a fresh, compelling storyline.
Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, and Erick Rowan Join the Fray
Nikki Cross and Dexter Lumis have also been confirmed as part of this new group. Cross, known for her chaotic and unpredictable persona, brings a unique dynamic to the stable. Lumis, who has been absent from television for over a year without any reported injuries, is set to make a significant impact upon his return.
Erick Rowan, who re-signed with WWE earlier this year, has been training at the WWE Performance Center in preparation for his return. Rowan’s involvement adds a sense of nostalgia and continuity, linking back to his history with Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family.
Joe Gacy and Potential New Members
Joe Gacy, last seen in NXT, is also rumored to be part of the stable. Gacy’s character, known for its dark and psychological elements, fits well with the group’s theme. This inclusion further expands the stable’s depth and potential for intriguing storylines.
There are hints that other characters like Mercy The Buzzard, Huskus Pig, and White Rabbit might also play a role, though WWE is keeping specific details under wraps.
WWE’s Confidence in the New Stable
Reports from Fightful Select indicate that WWE has high hopes for this new faction. The belief within the company is that this stable has the potential to resonate well with modern wrestling audiences. Unlike previous supernatural elements associated with Bray Wyatt’s character, this group is expected to adopt a more grounded and intense approach.
The stable’s formation and storyline were hinted at in the Bray Wyatt documentary aired on Peacock, suggesting a need to honor Wyatt’s legacy and make him proud. WWE insiders believe this new direction can captivate the audience without relying on supernatural gimmicks.
Costumes and Debut Date
Costumes may also play a significant role in the stable’s presentation, with references to characters like Mercy The Buzzard, Huskus Pig, and White Rabbit. WWE is maintaining secrecy about the exact details, adding to the anticipation.
Fans might not have to wait long to see this new group in action. There have been hints that the stable could debut on June 17th, aligning with Monday’s Raw from Corpus Christi, Texas. This debut date has been eagerly anticipated, with fans speculating about how the storyline will unfold.
