Uncle Howdy Going After RAW Superstar?
At the top of today’s news is an exciting theory concerning Uncle Howdy. The WWE Universe is on high alert about Uncle Howdy’s return, and it appears we may finally have our first program involving him. At Clash at the Castle, a QR code led to a video message for fans with a statement saying, “You changed. You stopped saying thank you.” Fans also spotted the initials CG, which some believe refer to Chad Gable, who has been in the spotlight due to struggles with his Alpha Academy students. However, there are also rumors that it could be Chelsea Green. We shouldn’t have to wait long if the rumors of Uncle Howdy debuting on tonight’s RAW pan out.
Real Reason for Clash at the Castle Botches
The internet wrestling community is buzzing with talk about Jade Cargill’s missteps at Clash at the Castle, including a botched springboard move. Reports suggest that the fall was due to loose ring ropes. The ropes were reportedly an issue all night, with a referee seen warning AJ Styles about them before his match. Damien Priest also took a tumble when attempting a top-rope move during his match against Drew McIntyre. If WWE knew the ropes were a problem, why didn’t they warn wrestlers or make adjustments?
Damien Priest Fine After Injury Scare
Damien Priest had a scary spot at Clash at the Castle, leading to concerns from Triple H about a potential injury. However, a report from Fightful Select indicates that Priest is fine and was merely selling a spot where his leg got entangled in the top rope. WWE officials are pleased with Priest’s performance against Drew McIntyre, showing his success as a World Heavyweight Champion.
WWE Apologizes for Clash at the Castle
