Uncle Howdy Appears On Last Night's WWE Raw

Bray Wyatt's new wacky pal was back in the middle of Alexa Bliss and Bianca Belair's ongoing feud.

After Bray Wyatt claimed to be Uncle Howdy on last Friday's SmackDown, the big man himself made an appearance on Monday Night Raw.

The mysterious figure appeared in a (beautifully lit) entrance tunnel during a brawl between Bianca Belair and Alexa Bliss that had spilled out into the crowd. Belair had set up two chairs and was about to hit her rival with a K.O.D through them before the shadowy figure was suddenly in her - and our - eyeline.

His mere presence was enough to stop 'The EST' in her tracks during the fight, opening the door for Bliss to win the night and drill the Raw Women's Champion with a DDT on the concrete. In contrast, Alexa was largely unfazed when she locked eyes with the Wyatt-adjacent character.

Howdy has been directly involved in the pair's feud since January 9th when he supposedly "questioned her control" over herself and her own actions. Bliss has seemingly attempted to claim her new violent streak in her own name, but various flashbacks to her time alongside Wyatt during 2020/2021 and Uncle Howdy's interjections have all suggested otherwise.

Regardless, it's all go for the character and story at the next Premium Live Event - Belair and Bliss will do battle at the Royal Rumble, on the same night Wyatt makes his in-ring return against LA Knight in a Mountain Dew Pitch Black match.
