Uncle Howdy Meets The Fiend in Heartfelt Tribute
A poignant tribute has brought together Uncle Howdy, also known as Bo Dallas, and The Fiend, thanks to a heartwarming gesture from Bray Wyatt’s son, Knash Rotunda. According to a report from ITR Wrestling, the youngster recently celebrated his birthday by dressing up as his late father’s iconic character, The Fiend.
The story begins with a special commission from Jojo, Wyatt’s former partner, to special effects artist Jason Baker. Knash wanted to honour his father’s legacy on his birthday, and Baker was more than happy to oblige. He created a mask from the same mould used to make the original Fiend mask, while his wife, Mandy Baker, designed a costume based on the original gear. The result was a mini version of The Fiend, with Knash posing for a picture with Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy.
As ITR Wrestling reports, Jason Baker took to Twitter to share the emotional moment, revealing that he received a call from Jojo wanting to fulfil Knash’s birthday wish. "I had the honour of doing something that is so close to my heart that I’m still fighting back tears while writing this," Baker tweeted. "I got a call from Jojo wanting to fulfil Knash’s birthday wish, which was to dress up like his dad Windham for his birthday party."
The tweet continued: "Needless to say, I jumped at the chance. I made a mask from the same mould as the original Fiend mask, and my wife Mandy designed a costume based on the original gear. It was an incredible experience, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it." The picture of Knash with Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy is a testament to the enduring legacy of Bray Wyatt, who left an indelible mark on the wrestling world before his untimely passing.
The Wyatt Sicks, led by Uncle Howdy, have been on a hiatus from WWE action for several months, with their last match taking place on RAW against Karrion Kross and his Final Testament. Despite being moved to SmackDown, and with several major events passing, including the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 41, there has been no sign of their return. However, as ITR Wrestling notes, fans remain patient, eagerly awaiting the group’s comeback.
As the wrestling world continues to mourn the loss of Bray Wyatt, moments like this serve as a poignant reminder of the impact he had on those who cared for him. The meeting between Uncle Howdy and The Fiend, albeit in a different form, is a testament to the enduring legacy of The Fiend and the love that continues to surround him.
In the words of Jason Baker, "I’m so grateful to have been a part of this experience, and I know that it will be a core memory for everyone involved." As ITR Wrestling reports, this heartfelt tribute will undoubtedly be etched in the memories of fans and those who were involved for years to come.
