7-time WWE champion to replace Uncle Howdy & help Wyatt Sicks against MFT tonight? SmackDown possibility explored

The Wyatt Sicks and the MFTs seem set to have a massive feud heading into WWE Survivor Series WarGames. The two factions have had intense staredowns over the past few weeks, but have yet to come to blows. However, that could change tonight.

Uncle Howdy has mysteriously been off television for a while, and his absence could continue tonight. If so, The Sicks could be at a disadvantage against the MFTs. In this scenario, they could receive help from Shinsuke Nakamura, who also seems to be feuding with Solo Sikoa's faction.

The former two-time NXT Champion teamed up with Rey Fenix to face the MFTs last week on SmackDown, but ended up losing. To exact revenge for the loss, he could help The Wyatt Sicks against the MFTs tonight, albeit in a one-off alliance.

It remains to be seen how WWE's creative team builds up their feud, with Survivor Series WarGames set to take place in a month.

Why is Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas) off television?

Fans have been left puzzled by the sudden disappearance of Uncle Howdy, even though his faction continues to make appearances on SmackDown. The reason has seemingly been revealed, although it hasn't come from WWE or Dallas himself.

Bo Dallas' father, Mike Rotunda, recently suffered a massive heart attack and was in a coma for a week, per Dallas' sister, Mika Rotunda.

The Hall of Famer had to be hospitalized for a month before being moved to a rehabilitation center, and the entire family had been with him, seemingly including Dallas. This explains why the Uncle Howdy character has been off television.

While it is unclear when the leader of The Wyatt Sicks will be back, fans are hopeful that it will be in the coming weeks to continue the build to a WarGames match next month.
