Bo Dallas and the rest of The Wyatt Sicks have done their best to keep alive the legacy left behind by Bray Wyatt. The characters and story feature many elements utilized by the Eater of Worlds during his time in WWE. The 34-year-old recently decided to pay tribute to his brother by recreating an iconic moment used by his brother during his feud with John Cena.

The latest episode of Raw featured the in-ring debut of Uncle Howdy. He went one-on-one against Chad Gable after weeks of haunting him and making his life a living hell. During the match, the mysterious figure held onto his opponent by his waist and hand. He then started dancing with his opponent in the middle of the ring. Gable eventually regained his consciousness and hit his opponent with a chop.

This moment highly resembled a moment shared between Wyatt and Cena. During a Last Man Standing match between the two superstars at Payback 2014, the new face of fear held onto the Hollywood superstar in a similar manner and started dancing in the ring with him.

Wyatt’s rivalry with John Cena is considered one of his greatest of all time. The two started feuding in 2014, with their rivalry being highly psychological in nature. This led to a singles match between the two superstars at WrestleMania 30, won by the Cenation leader. The two superstars reignited their tension prior to WrestleMania 36. This feud culminated in the Firefly Funhouse match, widely regarded as one of the best and most creative wrestling matches of all time.

The latest episode of Raw was main-evented by Chad Gable, taking on Uncle Howdy. The two had a chaotic match with plenty of interference. The Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile started beating down the mysterious character after the referee was taken out. However, he simply kept laughing. This eventually resulted in members of the Wyatt Sicks coming out to even the odds.

The match eventually ended with Howdy landing a Sister Abigail and coming out on top with a pinfall victory. After the show went off the air, the 34-year-old kneeled over Gable as smoke filled up the ring. Wyatt’s previous theme song, ‘Shatter,’ played in the background as the audience held up their flashlights.

Howdy then raised his hand and pointed towards the sky, hinting at Bray Wyatt watching over him from heaven. Further, he got out of the ring and walked away with his hand raised the entire time. He has paid similar tributes to his brother after the show went off the air in the past as well.
