There have been a lot of WWE returns over the last few months and it doesn’t look like they’ll be stopping anytime soon. It was reported earlier this month that former Impact Wrestling World Champion Eric Young is returning to WWE, but it sounds like fans shouldn’t expect to see him on WWE programming until next year.
In a recent PWInsider Q&A Mike Johnson responded to a fan question asking if Eric Young could be Uncle Howdy. While the person behind Uncle Howdy is currently unknown it was noted that Eric Young will not be starting with WWE until 2023.
“I haven’t heard that and was told that Young would not be starting with WWE until 2023, but until we see Uncle Howdy actually inside the ring, it doesn’t matter who is playing him on the videos at this point. It could be anyone and they could be using Bray to voice it over for all we know.”
There’s currently no word on what WWE has planned for Young when he returns to the company. Stay tuned for more updates on Eric Young’s return as they become available.
