Uncle Howdy, also known as Bo Dallas, has not been seen in any WWE shows since December 9, 2024. By the information, he had a shoulder injury, but neither WWE nor Dallas have verified the details. Recent events, however, suggest that he has received the medical clearance to be back in the ring in March 2025 just in time for WrestleMania season.

Background on Injury
When his brother tragically died towards the end of 2022, Bo Dallas returned as part of The Wyatt Sicks faction. He played an important part in upholding the legacy of Wyatt faction by engaging fans through his distinctive storytelling and otherworldly style.
He was popular with the crowd, but his final appearance in the ring was witnessed on December 9, 2024, as The Wyatt Sicks faced the last testament and The Miz. Fans were guessing about his health and WWE future as he was removed from air shortly after this match because of an unspecified illness.
Nature of the Injury
Although WWE never issued a formal announcement concerning Bo Dallas injury, conjecture was directed towards a potential shoulder problem. Neither Dallas nor WWE cleared up the details, but his extended absence lent fuel to the speculation of fans regarding his future health and in-ring career. As he was a key figure in The Wyatt Sicks, his vanishing missed greatly in the faction’s traction and current narrative.
Return to Action Expected Soon
Following months of speculation, reports from PWN revealed that Bo Dallas has been medically cleared to return as of March 2025. His clearance comes at the right time, coinciding with WrestleMania season, a time when WWE usually brings back important wrestlers to fuel high-stakes storylines. With his return, Dallas can easily rejoin The Wyatt Sicks and rekindle feuds on SmackDown, setting up new rivalries that will boost the faction’s presence.
One of the most compelling speculations on his return is how he would interact with Alexa Bliss. Bliss, who returned to WWE at Royal Rumble 2025, was very much a part of Bray Wyatt’s past storylines. The people want to know if she would join forces with The Wyatt Sicks, further deepening and making their storyline more interesting.
Impact of Bo Dallas’ Injury on The Wyatt Sicks
Stalled Storylines
The Wyatt Sicks’ momentum suffered a huge setback as a consequence of Dallas’ absence. WWE had established them as one of the stronger factions, with several top superstars being part of enthralling feuds. But without Dallas, existing storylines were compelled to be slowed down or revamped. His contribution was crucial in mapping the direction of the faction, and his absence led to lost opportunities for character growth and high-profile conflicts.
Future Prospects
With Bo Dallas medically cleared, the question on everybody’s mind is how soon he will be back on WWE programming. His return has to be properly handled so he does not suffer further injuries and loss of momentum. If WWE slows down his return, the faction stands to lose the momentum they had gained. But if well brought back, Dallas can reboot The Wyatt Sicks and guide them back to their winning path.
A possible direction would have The Wyatt Sicks aim at new foes or renew old feuds with current rivals. The Miz, for example, had been part of their recent storyline prior to Dallas’ injury. WWE could also attempt a darker, more ominous branch of the group, involving Alexa Bliss or other paranormal elements in order to recreate their creepy control.
Conclusion
Bo Dallas’ injury, as never officially declared, kept him out of WWE programming for several months, freezing the momentum of The Wyatt Sicks and removing a central member of Bray Wyatt’s continued legacy. With the news that he has been given the green light to return, WWE needs his return to have an impact and be well timed. His return is essential for The Wyatt Sicks’ believability and for re-piquing interest in their program among fans.
Dallas’ absence dulled the pace of The Wyatt Sicks, creating a loss of interest and derailed storylines. With WrestleMania season upon them, however, WWE has the ideal moment to return Uncle Howdy in a manner that re-engages viewers and entrenches the faction as an overbearing power. Whatever he does, pick up where he left off or start a new feud, his comeback will certainly be one of the most awaited moments of 2025.
