Absent WWE Talent Reveals New Look Amid Return Rumours

An absent WWE talent will seemingly have a new look when they resurface on the company's programming. 

Dexter Lumis has been away from WWE TV since May 2023, having disappeared for a year initially due to a lack of creative plans for the former Samuel Shaw. Plans are in place for Lumis' to return in the near future, though, and reports have indicated he will be part of the new Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy faction that will also consist of Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and Nikki Cross. 

Lumis has abandoned his well-trimmed moustache during his time off WWE TV and he may well be debuting a more Wyatt Family-esque look when he does return, with a new photo of Lumis revealing he has grown out his beard. 

When exactly the Uncle Howdy/Bo Dallas faction will debut on WWE TV has not been revealed but teases have aired through QR codes, WhatsApp, and WWE's Twitch channel in recent weeks, with it initially being noted in the Bray Wyatt documentary on Peacock that Bo Dallas planned to return to WWE. 

Lumis signed with WWE back in 2019 and he was a staple on NXT until his release in April 2022. He was re-signed by the company a few months later and headed to the main roster in a programme with The Miz. Lumis then rejoined The Way before he disappeared from TV.
