Matt Hardy opens up about Uncle Howdy's interview with Bo Dallas on WWE RAW
Ex-WWE Superstar Matt Hardy shared his two cents on the emotional segment involving Bo Dallas being interviewed by his alter ego, Uncle Howdy. The tense exchange between the two characters was featured on this week's episode of Monday Night RAW.
On the June 24 edition of the red show, a VHS vignette showed The Wyatt Sicks' leader interviewing the 34-year-old. Howdy wanted to know how Bo felt upon the passing away of his late brother, Bray Wyatt (real name: Windham Rotunda). Dallas revealed having no purpose left since the former Universal Champion's demise but after The Wyatt Sicks' arrival, his legacy will be honored.
Speaking on an episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the former WWE United States Champion mentioned that the spine-chilling segment between Uncle Howdy and the 34-year-old was phenomenal.
"Watching Taylor, watching Bo Dallas answer, he was so believable, he was so good, it felt so real probably because it is real. And I'd imagine it was one of those things that was difficult. It was a difficult thing to film, it added so much equity into him [Bo] doing this for his brother [Bray]," he said. [From 00:53 to 01:15]
Hardy praised WWE for putting together a well-planned segment featuring the former NXT Champion and his alter ego. The veteran added:
"It was practically perfect and I thought this was like an amazingly put together segment which just elevated the equity of Uncle Howdy and Bo Dallas. [From 01:35 to 01:45]

WWE Hall of Famer reacts to Bo Dallas-Uncle Howdy segment on RAW
Wrestling veteran Bully Ray also voiced his opinion on what he thought about Dallas talking to his other persona on Monday Night RAW.
On Busted Open Radio, the WWE Hall of Famer noted that fans saw Taylor Rotunda talking about his real-life brother and he was not acting during the emotional segment.
"There was no Bo Dallas in that kid sitting across from Uncle Howdy. That was the brother of Windham Rotunda, his name is Taylor Rotunda. When I saw that and I listened... there was no acting last night with Taylor," Ray said.
Chad Gable was one of the main victims of The Wyatt Sicks' attack upon their debut. Only time will tell who would be the next target of the "sinister friends."
