Uncle Howdy's debut, Drew McIntyre's fallout & more - 4 compelling questions looming over WWE RAW after Clash at the Castle 2024
WWE Clash at the Castle 2024 was a rollercoaster of emotions for fans in attendance and all over the world. The Stamford-based company's first premium live event in Scotland not only delivered unforgettable high notes but also saw regrettable low notes. Additionally, the show featured some decisions that deeply polarized the audience, winning praise and condemnation in equal measure.
Hot on the heels of the Glasgow event, WWE RAW is set to address the resulting fallout whilst also kicking off the road to Money in the Bank. The red brand also promises to answer several questions resulting from the events that transpired at the OVO Hydro arena.
Here are four of the biggest queries looming over the post-Clash At The Castle episode of WWE RAW
#4. Will Uncle Howdy finally show up on WWE RAW?
WWE has been teasing the return of Uncle Howdy since RAW after WrestleMania XL. Mysterious QR codes have been showing up in glitches all over the product, leading to a series of cryptic vignettes seemingly teasing Howdy's return, perhaps with a faction behind him.
The latest of these teases revealed a countdown to the start time of the post-Clash At The Castle episode of the flagship show, leaving fans wondering if the "Wyatt 6" will show up in Corpus Christi. Is it finally time? Will the mystical figure come alone or bring friends? Which superstars will be part of the faction? Who will be their first target? Will they pay tribute to Bray Wyatt, and if so, how?
Many questions like this will loom over the red brand.
#3. Which men and women will be included in the Money in the Bank qualifiers on WWE RAW?
Money in the Bank is WWE's next premium live event after Clash at the Castle and is set to take place in three weeks. The event is most famous for its namesake ladder matches whose winners earn world title opportunities that can be cashed in any time for a year. With only three weeks to qualify a dozen total competitors for the iconic matches, it's important to hit the ground running.
Other than the already-declared Jey Uso, who else will enter the qualifying matches? Who will win these matches, booking their spots in the iconic ladder matches? Which other feuds will be featured in Toronto? Will Adam Pearce dare leave Bron Breakker out of another tournament?
These and more answers will be provided on WWE RAW
#2. What's next for WWE RAW's representation at Clash at the Castle?
WWE RAW was well represented at Clash at the Castle 2024. Not only did RAW Superstars Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest headline the PLE, but Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn, Chad Gable, and Sami Zayn were also prominently featured. Their involvement created moments, furthered storylines, and created fallouts which will have to be addressed back on the red brand.
Who will be The Unholy Union's first challengers for the Women's Tag Team Titles? Is Gable done with Zayn or will their saga continue until Money in the Bank? What's next for Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark? Is Priest healthy enough to continue his reign after his scary rope bump in Glasgow? If so, who will be his next challenger before taking on Gunther at SummerSlam?
All these questions will be on fans' minds heading into the flagship show. However, one question will linger above all others, and that is...
#1. What's next for Drew McIntyre after CM Punk's actions at Clash at the Castle?
The topic on everyone's tongue coming out of WWE Clash at the Castle 2024 was CM Punk costing Drew McIntyre the World Heavyweight Title yet again. The decision has proved very polarizing, igniting heated debate as to whether it was the right decision. Away from fan discourse, McIntyre was left incensed, furiously demanding explanations from officials after the show went off air.
With Punk having declared that he won't be on RAW, how will The Scottish Warrior address his actions? Who will be the target of his anger in the absence of The Second City Saint? Will he seek a rematch from Damian Priest or enter Money in the Bank qualifying? How will Triple H and Co. keep arguably the hottest story in the business rolling without losing momentum?
We can't wait to get answers on the red brand.
