WWE Raw: Uncle Howdy in-ring return; Tournament announced for August 26 episode

Uncle Howdy (Late Bray Wyatt's brother Bo Dallas) will be seen in action on next week's episode of Monday Night Raw. As per WWE's confirmation, he will wrestle Chad Gable in a singles contest.

Since debuting on Raw, Howdy and his Wyatt Sicks faction have been after Gable alongside the rest of the American Made group and the chase continued, last night, during a match between Ivy Nile and Maxxine Dupri.

The lights went out to call the match off as Nikki Cross laid out Nile. The male members of Wyatt Sicks then took out The Creed Brothers of the American Made as Howdy delivered the Sister Abigail finisher to put down Gable.

The singles match announcement came afterward which will mark Dallas' first WWE in-ring outing since November 2019 at a WWE Live Event in Zurich, Switzerland. Under the Uncle Howdy character, it will be his first-ever match.

Howdy was involved in the Bray Wyatt vs. LA Knight Pitch Black Match at the 2023 Royal Rumble but he didn't wrestle. He also missed action during the six-man tag team match where Wyatt Sicks defeated Gable and The Creeds.

Also on next week's episode of WWE Raw, a tournament will kick off to crown a number-one contender for the Intercontinental Title. In an interview, the current champion Bron Breakker praised himself for being a genetically gifted athlete.

He also warned his next challenger that he'd spear him to the floor, and that would be his fault. There's no update on the participants of the tournament but Jey Uso said that he would be entering the fray.

In another match announced for Raw, Bronson Reed will take on Braun Strowman. Reed defeated The Miz in a no-disqualification match, this week, and his post-match attack was interrupted by Strowman. The two had a face-off to set up this match.

The August 26 episode of WWE Raw will take place at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island and it will be the go-home edition for Bash in Berlin PLE. The currently confirmed match card for the show goes as follows:
