“Not a Coincidence”: Uncle Howdy’s New Creative Plans & Opponent Stated After Wyatt 6 Raw Debut

Uncle Howdy finally returned to WWE after more than a year with the rest of his crew as Wyatt Sicks. The audience had a positive reaction to the stable’s re-introduction to the promotion. The Monday Night Raw segment on 06/17 was a glorified return promo as no details for the future were shared at the moment. But there is speculation that many may like to read though. Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez spoke about the first victim of the Wyatt Sicks after their big Monday Night Raw debut and fans may not have seen this coming.

The Wyatt Sicks promo was the closing segment on Monday Night Raw 06/17, meaning that it came up right after the main event for the night. Jey Uso had a triple-threat match on the red brand as the main event to qualify for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Dave Meltzer believes that it wasn’t a coincidence that this was the main event.

“I think that’s not a coincidence. He does the entrance with all the lights and he wins and then all the lights [go out]. And then these guys come. He might be the point man in this thing,” opined the industry insider on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Jey Uso was celebrating when the lights went out and the Wyatt Sicks segment began. Alvarez argued that it could have been any wrestler celebrating at the moment if the card had been different for the night or if somebody else was booked to win. But this is exactly why Meltzer believes that Uso could be getting set up to face either Uncle Howdy or any other entity out of the five.

Jey Uso also dropped a subtle hint to the late Bray Wyatt after performing at the first PLE following WrestleMania XL.

Could Uncle Howdy be targeting Uso for his Wyatt reference?

At Backlash in France this year Jey Uso faced the World Heavyweight Champion for his title, marking the latter’s first title defense. The European fans badly wanted him to win as they cheered him the best way they could during his entry. The crowd initiated a ‘firefly’ sequence by themselves by turning on the flash of their smartphones as the lights went out to welcome the “Main Event” star. Feeling proud of the same, Uso tweeted.

He commented how the fireflies belong to him now. Jey Uso also called himself the “Yeeter of Worlds” when sharing this tweet, signaling that he was trying to reference Bray Wyatt through his ‘firefly’ comment. This may be something that Uncle Howdy could be planning revenge for. Since the massacre has already started, Jey Uso might be the next big target for the supernatural stable.
