In a twist that could make M. Night Shyamalan jealous, Bo Dallas—now moonlighting as Uncle Howdy—served up a hefty dose of drama on WWE Raw. Abby the Witch, who everyone swears used to be Nikki Cross before she raided a Halloween store, decided to play mailman and therapist all in one night.
Gable’s Glitchy Nightmare
Chad Gable, fresh from a backstage pummeling by the Wyatt Sicks last week, stumbled his way into the Money in the Bank match after defeating “Big” Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman. He might have thought the worst was behind him—poor guy, always the optimist. His victory celebration was cut short when the lights dropped, a haunted piano played (because why not?), and fog rolled in like it was a 90s music video. Cross crawled into the ring, which seemed excessive but, hey, she’s committed to the bit. Gable, in an Oscar-worthy performance, collapsed in fear before making his not-so-graceful exit.
Mail Call, WWE Style
Cross then handed a suspicious package to Michael Cole, who was bravely solo-commentating after Pat McAfee was presumably hiding under his bed from a Wyatt Sicks ambush earlier in the day. After a commercial break (during which someone apparently dusted off an ancient VCR), Cole revealed the package contained a VHS tape with “play me” written on it. Very Alice in Wonderland, except less whimsical and more, “Did someone check this for anthrax?”
Uncle Howdy’s Video Diary
The tape rolled and out came the eerie piano again, signaling that Uncle Howdy was about to drop some wisdom—or something. In a distorted voice, Howdy asked if anyone was happy, presumably not including WWE fans in that query. Bo Dallas, sans creepy mask, then made a rare appearance, looking like he’d lost his GPS and wandered back onto the set. He confessed to Howdy that he felt like a nobody since his brother Bray Wyatt’s untimely passing.
Howdy, never one to miss a chance to rub salt in the wound, asked Bo if he felt like he was exploiting his brother’s memory. Spoiler: This sounds like a therapy session gone wrong. Dallas admitted he always wanted to be like Bray, and they were supposed to rule WWE together. Cue the dramatic music and possibly a single tear for effect.
The Big Finish
Dallas claimed he was keeping Bray’s legacy alive, and Howdy—clearly a fan of dramatic irony—agreed. The camera then panned out to reveal Bo and Howdy facing each other, a split-screen like the worst Zoom meeting ever, as the footage mercifully ended.
