Uncle Howdy returned to WWE after a long time when he first showed up on Monday Night Raw. Even following his return to the promotion, we merely caught glimpses of him on live TV. But after the ‘VHS tape promo’ saga, fans finally saw Bo Dallas in person on Monday Night Raw in a backstage promo.
Could this mean good news for fans who want to see him wrestle? The real question remains: where and who will we see him wrestling? Since Bo Dallas plays both himself and Uncle Howdy, which avatar would he show up as?
Should we expect Uncle Howdy at SummerSlam?

There were three tapes in the VHS promo saga in which Bo Dallas held a deep conversation with Uncle Howdy. The conclusion of those promos was left open-ended and the visuals overlap in such a manner that the promotion seems to be hinting at the fact that Bo Dallas is one with Howdy. After the third VHS segment, we saw Raw General Manager Adam Pearce entering his office, only to find Bo Dallas sitting inside, anxiously waiting for him. He then passes Pearce a smile as he enters the room to check in with the wrestler.
Bo Dallas is already established as a wrestler and could have talked to Adam Pearce to book him a match at SummerSlam with several adversaries to choose from. However, during one moment on the tape, we also saw Howdy in wrestling gear, pointing toward the possibility of his wrestling matches in the ring.

But even if Uncle Howdy gets booked for a match at the upcoming PLE, who will he be booked against?
Do we know Uncle Howdy’s next target?
The Wyatt Sick6 stable debuted through a massacre on Monday Night Raw. During the segment that night, we saw Chad Gable lying lifeless on the backstage floor. The next week, he appeared on Monday Night Raw, slightly bruised. This means that the wrestler was only injured slightly. However, this storyline did not end there because whenever the Wyatt Sick6 meant to cut a segment, they would intervene during Gable’s promos or matches, hinting at the fact that they could be looking forward to attacking him once again because he hasn’t been a good member to the rest of his family on the screen.

On the other hand, there were also speculations and opinions about Jey Uso being a potential target for the faction to keep on the radar. This could be because of his past with The Bloodline and how he left the business unattended with the rest of his family. Since Howdy and Co. appeared only after his celebration victory on the red brand and have since been interrupting him along with the Gable, Uso could also potentially be the next target for them.
Will Bo Dallas or Uncle Howdy get a match with Jey Uso at SummerSlam? We may have to wait around to confirm this.
