WWE star Bo Dallas spoke with Collider on a number of topics, including how he feels Bray Wyatt is still here with the WWE Universe because his ideas are still alive.
Dallas said, “But what’s wild is a lot of Windham’s plans and all the stuff that we talked about—me, Windham, Rob [Fee], and Hunter [Triple H]—a lot of that stuff is still happening. It feels like he’s still here with us because his ideas are still alive.”
On this emotional chapter in his life:
“There’s a lot of emotions, especially going into it. I didn’t know where my mind would be actually getting out there. But after the first night, as soon as the piano hit, as soon as I saw the crowd, it’s like Windham was just with me. Although I’m under a mask, that was real. When I have that mask on, I am Uncle Howdy. It’s become more than a wrestling character—it’s my escape and a way to be with Windham.”
On the journey up to this point:
“It’s been an absolutely insane year. Me and Windham had big plans when we got together, and we had a lot we were going to do. I thought that was all taken away, but through a lot of sequence of events, it’s like he’s still here with me. I always have something on that’s directly his, whether it’s his shoes, a pair of his socks, a glove—like he’s with me in every bit of this. I couldn’t do this if it wasn’t something I knew he would love. I’m loving it too—it’s keeping him alive in my heart, in my life. It’s surreal that this has all happened. It’s unbelievably unfortunate, but it’s wild how much he is a part of this, how his ideas are still staying alive. This is everything I love. It’s what’s keeping me going right now. I know I’m in the right place.”
