Alexa Bliss' Spooky Corruption Continues On WWE Raw

A spooky debut for this character, who seems to hold sway over Raw wrestler.

The BWU - the Bray Wyatt Universe - expanded further into WWE Raw on Monday night.

We have already had Alexa Bliss seemingly possessed by whatever dark spirits exist in WWE, with the Five Feet of Fury snapping during her Raw Women's Championship match last week at the mere appearance of Wyatt's logo.

But on Monday, Bliss tried to claim dominance over those dark elements, that she was in control, only for Uncle Howdy to make his first Raw appearance. Much like on SmackDown, Howdy emerged from the smoke-filled entrance and stood on the stage laughing in darkness and not doing much else of note before the show cut to a commercial. It wasn't referenced again on the show.

Uncle Howdy has been a central part of Wyatt's return, with Bray rival LA Knight initially alleging that the two are actually the same person or aligned. But more recently, Howdy laid Wyatt out, leaving more questions about their relationship than had already existed.

How Howdy fits into Bliss' character evolution (or how Alexa fits into the Wyatt Universe) still is an open question. But the two superstars who were tied together during the pandemic are once again united, even though they are on separate brands and haven't really interacted.
