Bo Dallas' career may not have hit the heights of his brother's, but he always had the latter's respect.

Bo Dallas - the real-life Taylor Michael Rotunda, and brother to Windham - made waves as a vicious, cowardly heel in NXT when he fluked his way to the NXT Championship and cheated his way into retaining it at every opportunity, all the while imploring the audience to "Bo-lieve" in him. Sadly, Bo's main roster run never took off and he was released in 2021.

At that point, Bo appeared to be done with wrestling, until he returned as the mysterious Uncle Howdy. As detailed in WWE's heartbreaking Wyatt-centric documentary Becoming Immortal, Bo only came back to wrestling to be with his brother. It's safe to say Bray was equally thrilled to be working alongside his younger sibling, but his respect for Bo went beyond their family ties. As the boys' father Mike Rotunda discussed on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast (via Wrestling Inc.), Bray always said that Bo was the better in-ring worker than him.

If Bo does return again as Uncle Howdy, he'll surely do everything in his power to honour the faith placed in him by the brother who bo-lieved in his talent.
