Fans have been speculating on who is behind the creepy mask for a while now. The most popular name that's linked to Uncle Howdy is former NXT champion Bo Dallas.
Dallas is Bray Wyatt's real-life brother and there were several reports coming out that WWE signed the third-generation superstar.
Another interesting name that fans feel is behind the Uncle Howdy mask is WWE Hall of Famer Ted Dibiase. A Twitter user named Jeph Guinan was the first person to come up with the suggestion.
"Interesting. He purposefully kept his hands on his jacket during that, and along with the emphasis on the laugh, it reminded me of the million dollar man." He replied to WWE analyst Ryan Satin.
WWE are yet to confirm who Uncle Howdy is but fans are really invested in the story and they're hoping for a great payoff when they finally reveal the identity of the masked figure.
