WWE Raw will include the return to the ring of Uncle Howdy and the start of the Intercontinental Championship tournament on the last flagship show before Bash in Berlin. WWE Raw takes place at the Amica Mutal Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island.

The show airs live on USA Network at 8/7c. Here is our full preview of ^ “WWE Raw Footage”.

WWE Raw Match Card (8/26/24)

• Uncle Howdy vs. Chad Gable
• “Big” Bronson Reed vs. Braun Strowman
• Intercontinental Championship No. 1 Contender Tournament

Uncle Howdy returns to the ring

I guess either Uncle Howdy or Chad Gable has a phobia of beer cellars, bratwurst or underground leather clubs. Because instead of this PLE quality match, Bash In Berlin on Saturday will take place on ^ “WWE Raw Footage”.

It will be interesting to see how Uncle Howdy fares between the ropes in his anticipated return to the ring. His group (The “Wyatt is sick”) – created in memory of his brother Bray Wyatt – was fresh, varied and exciting in the ring.

Will he be able to keep up? Can Gable overcome his fear of Howdy and compete?

Experience on an emotional WWE Raw that’s almost exactly one year to the day Bray Wyatt deceased.

Rest of the map

A tournament will begin to decide who will challenge the WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breaker for his title. There is an argument that it is not much of a reward for the tournament winner to be run over by Breakker at 23 miles per hour.

So far we only know Jey Uso is in the tournament. WWE may want to leave the ring before the “Great” Bronson Reed Wrestling with the even bigger-than-big Braun Strowman.

Reed has made a habit of launching multiple tsunamis at his fallen opponents, much to the delight of the crowd. But the 330-pound Reed certainly can’t throw himself at the 380-pound Strowman that many times before they rip a hole in the earth.

Anything else?

Lots. WWE Raw Superstars in the competition Bash In Berlin will try to gain momentum over their opponents. Smash Superstar Randy Orton wants to hit Gunther ‘out of nowhere’ on WWE Raw before we compete against him at the German PLE.

But the heavyweight world champion is already having fun in Germany.

Rhea Ripley And Damien Priest will fight for the upper hand Dominic Mysterio And Liv Morgan ahead of their mixed tag match this weekend. Certainly both CM Punk And Drew McIntyre will want to beat the other before their strap match Bash In Berlin.
