The latest installment of “Let’s Scare Chad Gable” continued on WWE Raw, with a VHS tape delivery from Nikki Cross—erm, Abby the Witch—and Bo Dallas finally showing his face sans Uncle Howdy mask. It’s the first time we’ve seen him unmasked since 2019, folks! And, like a bad penny, he keeps turning up.
Chad Gable, clearly on his way to winning WWE’s “Most Harassed” award, found himself distracted mid-ankle lock against Jey Uso. The lights flickered, Jey seized the moment, and Gable was left sprawled on the mat like a toddler who missed nap time. Cue the dramatic music, smoke, and—voilà!—Cross/Abby pops out from under the ring. The Wyatt Sicks are back to playing “Creepy Tape Delivery Service.”
Michael Cole, with all the enthusiasm of a man trapped at a used car lot, introduced the tape. Enter Bo Dallas, waxing poetic about his band of misfits who, let’s face it, make the Island of Misfit Toys look like a Sandals resort. He’s giving purpose to the forgotten, which is a noble cause unless you’re Chad Gable.
In a grand reveal worthy of a reality TV show, the faces behind the masks were exposed: Joe Gacy as Huskus the Pig, Dexter Lumis as Mercy the Buzzard, Erick Rowan as Rambling Rabbit, and Nikki Cross as Abby the Witch. It’s like Scooby-Doo, but with more existential dread.
Dallas, channeling his inner Shakespeare, delivered lines about grief, love, and setting captives free. His monologue was punctuated with sinister nods to his Uncle Howdy persona, culminating in a chilling declaration: “Do you think we are sick?” The over-modulated voice responded, “Yes, I do.” Dallas, ever the optimist, concluded, “Then sick is what we’ll be.”
The drama didn’t end there. Backstage, Chad Gable, looking more stressed than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, complained to General Manager Adam Pearce. Pearce, with the sagacity of a man who knows he’s not paid enough for this, hinted that Gable might want to reconsider his life choices. As if that wasn’t enough, Pearce walked into his office to find—surprise!—Bo Dallas. The scene ended with Pearce and Dallas shutting the door, likely to discuss the finer points of haunting Gable’s every waking moment.
