Bray Wyatt might have a former TNA star on his stable. During the latest edition of SmackDown, it was revealed that LA Knight had been kidnapped and gagged by an unknown figure during a recent episode in the latest of several backstage attacks on the former NXT star. Knight made his way to the ring and accused Wyatt, claiming he and Uncle Howdy were one and the same.
Howdy made his entrance, appearing at the top of the ramp to tip his hat at Knight as maniacal laughter echoed throughout the arena. Knight, in a panic, backed away from Wyatt and out of the ring whilst the former Fiend looked on at the two men.
Bray Wyatt might have recruited Eric Young
Eric Young is reportedly among the names that will be returning to WWE. In a Q&A on PWInsider.com, Mike Johnson wrote the following in response to a question about Young possibly being the “Uncle Howdy” character…
“I haven’t heard that (if Young is Uncle Howdy) and was told that Young would not be starting with WWE until 2023, but until we see Uncle Howdy actually inside the ring, it doesn’t matter who is playing him on the videos at this point. It could be anyone and they could be using Bray to voice it over for all we know.”
It appears to be more likely that Young will be reunited with his former Sanity teammate Nikki Cross. Nikki recently teased a Sanity reunion when she shared a chalk drawing to her Instagram story that included references to the group. Twitter account @WrestlingCovers broke down the drawing dates:
“6-19-18 : SAnitY SmackDown debut
9-16-16 : SAnitY match at an NXT live event
2-10-2008 : When she started training / working the Independent scene ??”
