Bo Dallas has reportedly parted ways with WWE, marking the end of his most recent run as Uncle Howdy.
According to Fightful, Dallas is no longer with the company. He had been portraying Uncle Howdy, the leader of the Wyatt Sicks faction, which played a central role in WWE programming following its reintroduction.
Dallas last appeared on the April 17 episode of WWE SmackDown, where he teamed with Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, and Erick Rowan in a street fight against the MFTs. That match now stands as his final appearance under the Uncle Howdy character.
Dallas originally signed with WWE in 2008, beginning his career in Florida Championship Wrestling. He went on to win the NXT Championship in 2013 before moving to the main roster in 2014.
During his time on the main roster, Dallas was involved in several groups, including the Social Outcasts, The Miztourage, and later the B-Team. His run included both singles and tag team roles across WWE RAW and SmackDown.
He was released in 2021 but returned in 2022 alongside his brother, Bray Wyatt. That return introduced the Uncle Howdy persona, which became part of Wyatt’s storyline direction at the time.
Following Wyatt’s passing, Dallas was brought back to television in 2024, continuing the Uncle Howdy role and leading the Wyatt Sicks as a tribute to his brother’s legacy.
His departure now marks another change within WWE’s roster as the company continues its post-WrestleMania adjustments.
WWE has begun its annual round of post-WrestleMania roster cuts, with multiple names already confirmed or reported as part of the latest wave of releases.
Nikki Cross and Joe Gacy, best known as members of The Wyatt Sicks, have both been released. Cross publicly confirmed the news on Friday by posting on X, making her one of the first talents to officially announce her departure.
The releases come amid ongoing expectations that WWE will make several roster adjustments following WrestleMania 42. These cuts are part of a yearly pattern that typically takes place before the company begins its European tour.
In addition to Cross and Gacy, Alba Fyre is also being reported as released. While WWE has not yet issued a complete official list, multiple reports indicate that her name is part of the current group of departures.
Another name linked to the situation is Zoey Stark. According to one source, Stark has also been let go, despite currently recovering from a serious injury. That detail has drawn attention, as it suggests WWE is making decisions regardless of current in-ring status.
At this stage, the full scope of the releases is still unclear. However, additional names are expected to emerge as WWE continues evaluating its roster across WWE RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
These annual post-WrestleMania changes are often tied to creative direction and roster balance. With new talent being introduced and others moving between brands, WWE uses this period to reshape its lineup for the months ahead.
More updates are expected soon as further releases are confirmed. WrestlingAttitude.com will continue to follow the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
Names reported released so far:
Nikki Cross
Joe Gacy
Alba Fyre
Zoey Stark
Goodbye and Thank you WWE
I’m really excited for whatever my next chapter will hold.
Thank you all for the continued love and support.
Special thank you to Robbie Brookside and William Regal for helping this dream come true.
Sweepstakes platforms separate entertainment play from prize eligibility by using two balances. Gold Coins are used for casual gameplay, while Sweeps Coins are the currency tied to sweepstakes entries and redemptions. That split gives new players a clear way to explore games without confusing practice play with prize-qualified activity.
What Sweepstakes Free Play Actually Means
The model is easy to understand once you know what each balance does. Gold Coins let you test slots, tables, and other titles at your own pace. Sweeps Coins carry the value that matters for prize claims, so the account dashboard is worth checking closely before you start spinning.
How Signup Offers Usually Work
Most platforms credit free coins during registration or through a first-visit promotion. The offer may include both balances, or it may emphasize one type depending on the site’s current campaign. A clear offer page should show the coin amounts, any verification steps, and whether the bonus is tied to a specific account action.
When you want to see the current setup in one place, the platform’s main signup page is the best reference point. On a platform with a sweepstake casino no deposit bonus, you can review the available coin offers, account flow, and the steps needed to claim Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins. That kind of page is useful because it shows the offer as it actually appears to a new player, not as a summary stripped of details.
Before accepting any bonus, compare how quickly the coins are credited, whether the offer expires, and whether the site limits the games that count toward sweepstakes play. Small differences in timing and eligibility often matter more than the headline coin amount.
Claiming Free Coins Without Missing the Fine Print
Eligibility usually starts with basic account checks such as age, location, and identity. Some sites only need an email confirmation at first, while others require phone verification or photo ID before any redemption is allowed. Reading those requirements before you register prevents confusion later, especially if you plan to move from free play to prize claims.
Bonus terms deserve the same attention. Expiration windows, game exclusions, and redemption thresholds shape how useful a free offer really is. A generous coin balance loses value quickly if it expires in a day or cannot be used on the games you prefer.
Keep a record of the offer details when you claim it. A screenshot of the promotion, the credited balance, and any confirmation message gives you a clean reference if support needs to review the account later.
Ways To Stretch Free Play
Free coins last longer when you treat them as a learning tool rather than a quick chase for a payout. Start with modest bet sizes, watch how a game behaves, and move on if the pace or volatility does not suit your balance. That approach gives you more sessions and a better sense of which titles are worth returning to.
Use a fixed session budget: Decide in advance how many spins or hands you want to play before stopping.
Focus on qualifying games: Choose titles that clearly count toward sweepstakes entries or bonus progress.
Check daily rewards: Log in for recurring coin drops, streak bonuses, or timed promotions.
Watch balance type: Keep Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins separate in your mind so you know what has redemption value.
Rules That Shape Redemptions
Sweeps Coin redemptions usually involve a minimum threshold, identity checks, and a review period before anything is issued. Some platforms also ask for address confirmation or additional documentation depending on the prize type. Those steps are standard, but they are easier to handle when you already know what the site expects.
State eligibility matters as well. Many sweepstakes platforms restrict access in certain jurisdictions, and age limits may differ by location or operator policy. If the terms are unclear, the safest move is to verify them before you create an account rather than after you have already claimed a bonus.
Conclusion
Sweepstakes free play works best when you understand the two-currency system, read the offer terms, and keep track of verification requirements. That combination makes free coins easier to use and redemption rules easier to navigate. Start with the official signup page, confirm the current offer, and treat the bonus as a guided introduction to the platform rather than a shortcut around the rules.
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s live coverage of the “WWE SmackDown” after WrestleMania 42, airing live from the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
The road to WrestleMania found its terminus last weekend and following Monday’s “WWE Raw” the destination is Backlash in Tampa, Florida, on May 9. And speaking of “Raw” and Backlash, Jacob Fatu will be returning to the blue brand tonight after appearing on Monday to challenge Roman Reigns to a World Heavyweight Championship match in Tampa.
Reigns could be heard at the end of Monday’s show telling Jimmy Uso to talk some sense into him, having left Fatu with the decision to either rescind the challenge next Monday or proceed and live with the consequences.
Rhea Ripley, similarly, will be following up on her “Raw” appearance tonight, having teamed with Iyo Sky to defeat the Kabuki Warriors before saying her goodbyes. She dethroned Jade Cargill for the Women’s Championship at WrestleMania, thus ensuring she had to switch brands moving forward.
Trick Williams will also be on the show having won a title at WrestleMania, dethroning Sami Zayn for the United States Championship. He is scheduled to be accompanied by Lil Yachty. Paige will be making her first appearance since winning the Women’s Tag titles alongside Brie Bella, standing in for Nikki Bella, at WrestleMania.
There will also be a title on the line, Tiffany Stratton having defeated Jordynne Grace during last Friday’s show to stamp her shot at the Women’s United States Championship held by Giulia. “SmackDown” will start at 8 PM ET and can be watched on USA Network domestically as well as Netflix internationally.
As the show gets started, WWE releases are ongoing. The likes of the Wyatt Sicks, Kairi Sane, Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, and the Motor City Machine Guns are among names departing the company with more expected to come.

Former two-time “WWE NXT” Tag Team Champion Andre Chase, the leader of Chase University and its various iterations over the years, announced on Friday that he has been released from his WWE contracts. The announcement came amidst news of various cuts to the main roster, a sad, but not unfamiliar yearly occurrence post-WrestleMania. Chase took to his X (formerly Twitter) account, where he issued a video statement.
“Thank you for all the support,” Chase said. “Thank you to everybody who threw up the ‘U’ at the shows… Just know that you truly helped make something out of nothing, because when I signed with WWE, on the first day, it was made abundantly clear that I was never going to be on television. I was never meant to be a superstar. I was just here to pass on my knowledge to a younger generation. But, then something changed, and it was because of your support. It was because of the connection we had. Suddenly, I had whole arenas chanting ‘Chase U.'”
Chase said his chapter may be closed in his WWE career, but he’s not finished with professional wrestling. His post notes that he is available for bookings in June. Chase was no stranger to professional wrestling prior to joining “NXT” in 2021, as he worked on the independent scene since 2008, as well as Ring of Honor and TNA.
One of his former “students” in Chase U, Thea Hail took to X to lament his departure. She quoted his video message with the caption, “there would be no thea hail without you.”
