Bray Wyatt's 'Uncle Howdy' is reportedly based on Barry Windham

Earlier this year, Bray Wyatt returned to the company after being released the previous year. The White Rabbit teasers and easter eggs were revealed to be the returning Wyatt.

The Eater of Worlds shocked the world when he mentioned that he is not back alone. A new character appeared in WWE called Uncle Howdy, who has been haunting Wyatt ever since he made his way back to the company.

Recently, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful mentioned that the character Uncle Howdy matches the former NWA World Champion and Bray Wyatt's real-life uncle Barry Windham. Check it out:

It would be interesting to see if the Eater of Worlds ever makes an on-screen reference to his uncle on which the character is likely based. Wyatt is currently on the blue brand feuding with LA Knight.
