For weeks, WWE has been hinting at the return of Uncle Howdy. Last seen alongside Bray Wyatt, Uncle Howdy’s comeback seems imminent, as suggested by the eerie QR messages popping up on Raw and SmackDown. Underneath the Howdy mask is Bray Wyatt’s real-life brother, Bo Dallas, but he might not be coming back alone. Alexa Bliss, who was once by the side of The Fiend, has been absent from WWE for over a year after getting pregnant. However, fans now think they might have spotted her on the May 27 episode of Raw.
During the May 27 Raw in Savannah, Georgia, Sheamus headed to the ring to cut a promo on Ludwig Kaiser. Kaiser appeared on the screen, taunting Sheamus, who then stormed backstage to find him. As Sheamus walked through the Gorilla position and another curtain, a mysterious woman could be seen standing alone, hand on her hip, as if posing. The woman, who appeared briefly at the 2:08 mark in the clip below, was blonde with her hair up, wearing a dark top and black and red striped pants.
This fleeting glimpse got fans talking. Not only did the woman resemble Alexa Bliss in her face, hair, and build, but the black and red pants were reminiscent of Bray Wyatt’s Fiend era. Was this a subtle hint at Alexa Bliss’s return, or simply someone made to look like her? Only time will tell, but it certainly has fans buzzing with excitement.
