In an emotional and eerie main event on WWE Raw, Bo Dallas, stepping into the sinister persona of Uncle Howdy, marked his in-ring return with a chilling victory over Chad Gable. The match, which took place just two days after the first anniversary of Bray Wyatt’s passing, was loaded with symbolism and tribute, with Howdy carrying Wyatt’s iconic lantern down the ramp, setting the tone for a night that would be unforgettable.
The battle between Howdy and Gable began as a hard-hitting, evenly matched contest. But, as is often the case in WWE, the real story unfolded after the commercial break. Gable, always the technician, tried to take control with a high-risk maneuver from the top rope, only for Howdy to catch his breath and counter by tossing Gable over the announce desk. Gable responded with an Angle Slam right on the desk, sending shockwaves through the arena. But Howdy, resilient as ever, beat the 10-count and brought the fight back to the ring.
The match took a chaotic turn when Ivy Nile appeared, distracting the referee just as Gable locked in an Ankle Lock. With the official’s back turned, Howdy locked Gable in a Mandible Claw, showcasing the dark tactics Wyatt Sicks have become infamous for. But Gable wasn’t alone for long – the Creed Brothers stormed the ring to aid their American Made teammate, pulling Howdy out and slamming him into the barricade. Howdy, ever the twisted figure, sat laughing maniacally as the arena lights dimmed, heralding the arrival of the rest of Wyatt Sicks.
Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, and Joe Gacy descended on the scene, turning the match into a full-blown brawl. Lumis leaped off the barricade to neutralize the Creed Brothers, while Rowan and Gacy made quick work of their opponents. Nile tried to even the odds by jumping on Rowan’s back, but the giant was unfazed, tossing her aside with ease.
Back in the ring, Gable attempted to finish the match with his signature moonsault, but Howdy saw it coming. Moving out of harm’s way, Howdy caught Gable and delivered a devastating Sister Abigail, sealing the victory in his in-ring debut as Uncle Howdy.
The win wasn’t just another victory on Raw – it was a poignant tribute to the late Bray Wyatt, with Bo Dallas continuing his brother’s legacy in a way only the WWE Universe could truly appreciate. The Wyatt Sicks are here, and Uncle Howdy has made it clear that his twisted reign is only beginning.
