How long before 'Uncle Howdy' wrestles a match? He hit a dive spot Darby Allin would've been proud of at the Rumble, and he's been showing up more and more during skits with Bray Wyatt and LA Knight on SmackDown. Now, with Knight seemingly out of the picture, 'Howdy' can reveal his true identity.

WWE shouldn't keep that back until 'Mania - they don't have enough material to stretch things out for another few months. Don't be surprised if next week's SmackDown episode includes some kind of promo expressing gratitude from Wyatt, then 'Unc' can rip off the mask and show the world who he really is.

Bo Dallas, probably.

If so, then this is the most interesting Bo has ever been in WWE circles. Revealing him as the master of puppets pulling strings and making Bray dance to his merry tune would certainly be a lofty spot immediately for someone who has been a career midcarder.
