Bo Dallas was uncertain about continuing his career.

He and his brother, Windham Rotunda (better known as Bray Wyatt), had spent countless hours brainstorming their return to WWE. The two were like children filled with excitement, often texting each other late at night with fresh ideas.

Everything changed when Wyatt suddenly passed away in August 2023 at the young age of 36, leaving the family in shock. Dallas feared that all of their shared dreams had been lost.

Despite grappling with his brother’s unexpected death, Dallas felt a strong pull to return to WWE. He hadn’t performed for some time, but he was determined to honor Wyatt’s legacy, even though he was anxious about how it would be received.

When he finally returned, the thrill of the crowd put his worries to rest. Dallas reemerged as Uncle Howdy, a character the brothers had envisioned together, and he brought a new group, the Wyatt Sicks, aimed at carrying on Wyatt’s vision.

“I had my doubts about moving forward without my brother, but this journey has made me feel that he’s with me more than ever,” Dallas shared with YSL News Sports. “Even though I always loved wrestling, I worried that losing him might take that passion away from me. Strangely, it’s been just the opposite.

“I savor the moment when the music plays, and I step out to the ring, feeling Windham’s presence beside me.”

As Dallas forges ahead to honor his brother’s legacy, Wyatt’s creative spirit remains alive. Recently, WWE 2K24 launched the “Bray Wyatt Edition,” featuring a new iteration of “The Fiend,” a character Wyatt crafted before his untimely passing.

Dallas expressed his disbelief at witnessing his brother’s visions come to life after his demise.

“The world gets to experience that, even in his absence, Windham’s ideas and legacy are still thriving,” he remarked.

The impact of Wyatt isn’t limited to video games; it permeates the essence of Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks.

“Everything happening now and in the future has Windham’s influence, whether directly or indirectly,” noted Dallas.

The members of the Wyatt Sicks are also a tribute to Wyatt, featuring Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, and Dexter Lumis. Dallas emphasized that these individuals were carefully selected by Wyatt himself.

“He specifically wanted to collaborate with them,” Dallas said. “He saw something special in each of them that resonated with him.”

Since their electrifying debut in June, the group has enjoyed significant success. As the lights dim and the first notes of “Shatter,” Wyatt’s entrance music, ring out, the crowd knows something extraordinary is about to unfold.

The warmth from fans has been overwhelmingly supportive for Dallas. He often experiences heartfelt interactions where fans embrace him or simply express their love.

This affection fuels Dallas’s drive. He dedicates himself wholeheartedly to wrestling, and he plans to continue doing so as long as he feels the empowerment from the WWE community. The Wyatt Sicks may have concluded their feud with American Alpha, but what’s next for them?

Just like his brother, Dallas has a multitude of plans on the horizon.

“You’ll just have to wait and see,” he teased. “The Wyatt Sicks are just getting warmed up. We have a lot ahead of us.”

Wyatt must be looking down with pride at what Dallas is achieving, and Dallas has also received unwavering support from his family, who is equally devoted to preserving Wyatt’s legacy. Coming from a prominent wrestling lineage, Dallas describes the past year as the most challenging experience of their lives.

Despite their sorrow, this hardship has brought them closer, and they have stood united in their mission to carry on Wyatt’s narrative. Dallas feels pride from his family, knowing “this is what Windham would have wanted.”

Wyatt was an enigma in WWE, larger than life both to fans and to Dallas, who viewed him similarly. Dallas felt that his brother had a unique vision, almost as if he foresaw that Dallas would be the one to keep his legacy alive.

“While we brainstormed ideas together, he would often remind me, ‘Just be ready, man, be ready,'” Dallas recalled. “Maybe he had insight that we don’t fully comprehend. But it confirms that I’m fulfilling the purpose he envisioned for me, because I’m certain this is his desire.”

Carrying on a legacy is a monumental responsibility, yet Dallas feels equipped to shoulder it because he knows he’s not alone. He cherishes his journey and acknowledges that he is fueled by love.

My brother, along with the entire WWE community, is unified in this effort.

“I can sense the support from everyone who watches this and is involved. It’s not solely about me; it’s about all of us,” he expressed. “Everyone is in this for Bray.”
