Even Them? How WWE Is Going Incredibly Far To Protect Uncle Howdy's Secret

That’s some dedication. There are all kinds of ways to present a new wrestler but one of the most consistently used over the year is a mask. A new star will appear but there is no way of knowing who is behind the mask, leading to quite a bit of intrigue. WWE is utilizing the idea again today, but this time around they are doing something pretty unique with the concept.

Over the last few months, Bray Wyatt has been attempting to escape his path but is also dealing with someone named Uncle Howdy. The man appears in a mask and has either stared at or attacked Wyatt. It is not clear who is behind the mask and according to Fightful Select, that is the case backstage as well. Howdy reportedly never takes off his mask and costume backstage, leaving no one to know who he actually is. There is no word on when or if the identity will be revealed on television.

Howdy doesn’t have much to go on but he is someone. Check out his time in WWE:

Opinion: That’s something you don’t hear about very often and it might be a brilliant idea. Having Howdy as a surprise is a good thing and if none of the wrestlers know who he is, it makes the secret that much more secure. It is definitely a different kind of story and WWE has me wondering who is underneath that mask. That is a sign of a good story but now they need to get the reveal right.
