Genius swerve months in the making, big change to The Wyatt Sicks? - 4 possible finishes for Uncle Howdy vs Chad Gable on WWE RAW next week
WWE RAW next week is going to be a big show. According to WrestleTix on X, over 8,000 fans will be in attendance for a program that has several intriguing matches already announced.
For starters, an Intercontinental Championship Tournament will begin to determine the number one contender for Bron Breakker. Additionally, two mountainous men will collide when Braun Strowman goes one-on-one against the imposing Bronson Reed.
Perhaps the most interesting match is the in-ring "debut" of Uncle Howdy, which is the in-ring return of Bo Dallas. He will go one-on-one with American Made leader and former head of The Alpha Academy, Chad Gable.
This article will take a look at a handful of ways that their upcoming match could conclude. This includes no proper finish, a huge return, and a genius swerve months in the making from arguably the smartest man in wrestling.
Below are four possible finishes for Uncle Howdy vs. Chad Gable on WWE RAW next week.
#4. The match could turn into chaos with no definitive winner decided
Both Chad Gable and Uncle Howdy lead stables in WWE. Chad Gable is the leader of the newly formed American Made faction. This group also includes Ivy Nile and The Creed Brothers. Meanwhile, Howdy leads The Wyatt Sicks.
With so many personalities involved, the odds of this match actually going off without a hitch feel incredibly low. Instead, the two WWE groups will almost inevitably clash at ringside and maybe even in the center of the ring. This will cause the bout to get chaotic and inevitably both Gable and Howdy will get involved too.
Supposing that The Wyatt Sicks and American Made do get involved with the legal participants, this will mean that the bout is likely to end in either a double disqualification or as a no-contest. This could then lead to a rematch or a big multi-person bout in the future.
#3. Chad Gable could shockingly make Uncle Howdy tap out
Chad Gable may be a faction leader, but make no mistake about it, he is more than just someone leading others to greatness. Gable has had a ton of success in WWE, especially in the tag team scene.
Since joining the Sports Entertainment juggernaut, Gable has won the NXT Tag Team Titles, RAW Tag Team Titles, and SmackDown Tag Team Titles. He has also come close to winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship on multiple occasions, including in the main event of RAW.
Howdy cannot take Chad Gable lightly and if he does, it will end badly. While Uncle Howdy may have spooky elements to his character, he is not unbeatable. If the former Olympian locks in the Ankle Lock, there is a very real chance the horrifying superstar will submit, which would dramatically change the perception of the stable.
#2. Alexa Bliss could return to WWE television and aid Howdy
Alexa Bliss is one of the most successful female performers of the era leading up to Triple H taking over WWE. She managed to win the RAW Women's Championship, SmackDown Women's Championship, and numerous tag team titles in that period.
Unfortunately, The Goddess hasn't been seen on WWE television in around a year and a half. The former champion revealed she was pregnant last year, had the baby, and is yet to return despite many fans having expected it for quite some time.
Given her past with Bray Wyatt and even Uncle Howdy, if Alexa is indeed returning any time soon, it could come next week. She could appear as a surprise and distract Gable, which in turn will allow Uncle Howdy to nail the Olympian with the Sister Abigail.
#1. The Alpha Academy could shockingly swerve The Wyatt Sicks and join American Made
Prior to leading American Made, Chad Gable led The Alpha Academy on WWE television. He was a mentor to Otis, Akira Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri. Unfortunately, his bullying tactics caused a rift, and things are unable to be repaired. At least, that's what fans think, anyway.
The Alpha Academy could play a pivotal role come WWE Monday Night RAW. Otis, Tozawa, and Maxxine could turn heel and cost Uncle Howdy the match. If Maxxine causes a distraction and Otis slams the spooky star, this could lead to Gable getting a quick victory.
In fact, not only might Otis, Maxxine Dupri, and Akira Tozawa turn heel, but it could be revealed that this swerve was actually months in the making. Chad Gable is a genius, so the turn could be explained by noting he wanted The Wyatt Sicks to think he tore his family apart when they're actually stronger than ever.
