Or, this.

'Uncle Howdy' serves no purpose on WWE programming without Bray Wyatt. The character is an evil manifestation of the worst parts to Bray's psyche, after all, and there's just no way it can survive if Wyatt ends up leaving the company all over again. You know what that means, eh?

In short, it means creative would squash the living sh*t out of 'Howdy' before he disappears. All of his supernatural powers would suddenly disappear, and he'd be tasked with eating a quick Stunner or two at the hands of an impatient Steve Austin. Hey, there are worse ways to go out!

This is a reach, sure, but hardly impossible. If WWE do get p*ssy with Bray, then every aspect of his recent run will be torn down. That means 'Unc' would be humiliated on TV, and then placed back in storage (possibly for good).

'Stone Cold' could be doing the writers a favour.
