Bo Dallas Receives Offer To Join Wrestling Promotion After WWE Release

Bo Dallas suffered a severe professional setback last week.

Dallas’ name featured in the list of 20+ wrestlers that were released by WWE on Friday, April 24.

Along with Dallas, who portrayed Uncle Howdy in the Wyatt Sicks faction, other members of the group—Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, Eric Rowan, and Dexter Lumis—were released, too.

Many fans believed that letting go of the group comprising unconventional characters was a big mistake and that they were mismanaged and were not used to their fullest potential.

In late 2022, Bo Dallas was introduced as Uncle Howdy in a storyline with his real-life brother Bray Wyatt, who later tragically passed away in 2023, aged 36.

On the June 17, 2024, episode of Raw, Howdy returned to television with new allies, showing them backstage after having taken out several members of the roster and staff by the Gorilla Position.

In July 2025, Lumis and Gacy defeated the Street Profits duo of Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford to win the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Before their release, Bo Dallas and his faction were involved in a long-standing feud with The MFTs over Bray Wyatt’s lantern.

During a recent episode of The Coach & Bro podcast, Vince Russo praised Dallas, even offering him a job at Juggalo Championship Wrestling an independent American wrestling company.

You know, guys, when I tell you it’s all dollars and cents at JCW, I would welcome Bo Dallas with open arms, man, to the company because he was killing it. He was killing it in those early promos. Absolutely killing it, man.

WWE Hall Of Famer Would Not Have Released Bo Dallas

While Bo Dallas has received an invitation to join JCW from Vince Russo, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray has claimed that he would not have released him in the first place.

Speaking about the post-WrestleMania release on Busted Open Radio, Bully made it clear that he would have preferred Dallas in WWE due to his connection to the late Bray Wyatt.

Am I shocked that the Wyatt Sicks are no longer here? No, I’m not shocked. However, I would have never got rid of Dallas. Dallas is the link to Bray. I would have kept Dallas around. I would have kept Dallas around and I would have kept the character doing something.

Even if Uncle Howdy, for the rest of his WWE career, was always trying to find a way to talk to Bray Wyatt, to The Fiend, one more time, and that was his entire story, and his entire quest, because the last time we saw the Fiend was in the WWE, so Uncle Howdy was always searching the WWE for the door, for the stargate to find The Fiend, and we always saw him, and as we move along in his story, someone is always trying to stop him.

I would have kept Dallas around. This goes way beyond business, it goes beyond a bottom line and dollars and cents. To me, keeping Bo Dallas around would have been the right thing to do. [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
