Uncle Howdy Wins Debut Match on WWE Raw

Uncle Howdy made his in-ring debut on the August 26 episode of WWE Raw, defeating Chad Gable in a match that paid tribute to the late Bray Wyatt. The match received criticism for its full lighting, with suggestions that a spotlight would have been more effective. Bo Dallas, embodying Uncle Howdy, aims to carry on his brother's legacy through this new persona. The Wyatt Sicks continue to feud with Gable's American Made, with future confrontations anticipated. Randy Orton addressed his upcoming match against Gunther at Bash in Berlin, and Bronson Reed dominated Braun Strowman. The night also saw progress in the Intercontinental Championship tournament and a heated exchange between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre.
