Uncle Howdy terrified the whole WWE Universe when he appeared on this week’s Raw. The sinister figure appeared out of nowhere to deliver a huge Sister Abigail to Chad Gable, signaling that he was still not finished with him. Furthermore, fans noted that something was off with Uncle Howdy’s mask, which may have caused some modifications to his character presence.
If we pay close attention to the segment, we can determine that those supporters were correct. WWE has modified the color of Howdy’s mask to a little darker one to make it scarier. Not only that, but the mask had a distinct style of dreads hanging on to it than usual, which might indicate that this could be the way forward for his in-ring gear.
We all know WWE is attempting to make the Uncle Howdy persona look like The Fiend, and wearing a different mask in the ring is conceivable, as Bray Wyatt did the same in 2019.

The character’s aura appeared dominant in this segment, suggesting that WWE may book him strongly in the ring. There is speculation that Gable and Howdy may confront one other at the upcoming WWE PLE Bash in Berlin, but no match between the pair has been confirmed. The feud will continue for some time, as seen in the previous weeks, as this shows that Uncle Howdy will not leave Gable until he has utterly destroyed him.
Is that a NEW Uncle Howdy mask or is the lighting faking us out? ‼️🧐

Not only is the rivalry unfinished right now, but it appears that the women members of the respective teams will become engaged in the rivalry in the future.
Uncle Howdy could deploy Nikki Cross from his arsenal
As you are all aware, Ivy Nile became embroiled in this fight on the previous week’s Raw by attacking Maxxine Dupri. This was a crucial development since it appeared that, just like Uncle Howdy and other male faction members had saved Otis and Akira Tozawa, Nikki Cross should do the same with Maxxine. Cross can execute an in-ring comeback against Ivy Nile to square the score.

Not only that, but there are reports that a mixed-gender tag team match will take place very soon. The reports do not specify when it will take place, but it will most likely take place following a one-on-one bout between Uncle Howdy and Chad Gable. Perhaps a fated encounter at the upcoming Bash in Berlin PLE could work out for all parties as we get deeper into the feud. Only time will tell how Triple H will schedule this match in the future.
