There is no doubt that Windham Rotunda left an impactful legacy in WWE. Using the ring name Bray Wyatt, Rotunda created many memorable moments in the promotion. Sadly the world lost Windham last year, but his memory and his visions of creativity can be still felt today.
One of Windham’s creations was the character Uncle Howdy. Windham created the character for his younger brother Taylor Michael Rotunda who goes by the ring name Bo Dallas. There have been various Uncle Howdy teases popping up on both television and social media,
During the ending credits of the Bray Wyatt documentary that was released on Peacock a few weeks back, there was a hint of an Uncle Howdy return. A former member of the Wyatt family Erick Rowan had to cancel previously planned shows he was set to appear at.

The wrestling world is mourning the loss of one of its most talented and versatile performers, Bray Wyatt, who died unexpectedly at age 36. Wyatt, whose real name was Windham Rotunda, was a third-generation wrestler and a former WWE champion who captivated fans with his dark and twisted characters.

Wyatt later reinvented himself as The Fiend, a masked entity that emerged from a Firefly Fun House and unleashed his wrath on his enemies.
The heartbreaking news was revealed in a social media post from Triple H, announcing the news of Wyatt’s passing and requesting that everyone respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time. Initially no official cause of death was revealed; however,...

There have been countless wrestlers who have included spooky, undead, or horror imagery into their personas, but no one has ever done it quite like Windham "Bray Wyatt" Rotunda, who tragically passed away at the age of 36. It's impossible to overstate the brilliance Rotunda brought to the ring as Wyatt, elevating the art of wrestling to that of horror cinema. His character work was unmatched and he took risks that often felt impossible in a company known for its micromanaging and supervillain leadership. He shot for the moon and even if the gimmick didn't land right away, he never gave up on figuring out how to make it work. Few of his peers were that brave, ever. Over the course of his career in WWE, Bray Wyatt truly became the new face of fear, and incorporated horror into the world of wrestling in a way that no one before him ever could.
