3 Reasons why Uncle Howdy attacked Paul Ellering on WWE RAW this week

During the recent episode of WWE RAW, Uncle Howdy and The Wyatt Sicks seemingly found their next targets when they attacked The Final Testament and The Miz. This occurred after The Final Testament lost a match against The New Day, thanks to interference from R-Truth.

Following the match, Karrion Kross's faction began attacking Truth, only for Howdy's group to appear and intervene.

At the segment's climax, Howdy was about to attack The Miz with a Mandible Claw but instead attacked Paul Ellering. This article will discuss three possible reasons behind this attack on Ellering on WWE RAW.

#3. Howdy was supposed to attack Miz but Paul Ellering came in his way

One of the reasons Uncle Howdy launched an attack on Paul Ellering is due to his interference in the business of the horror faction. Originally, the leader of The Wyatt Sicks had confronted The Miz backstage and was almost ready to strike.

However, in the ring, at the last moment, Paul Ellering pushed The Miz out of the way, which put him in the line of Uncle Howdy’s fire. This could explain why Howdy didn’t hesitate to put him down with the Mandible Claw, as Ellering had interfered in his business.

#2. Paul Ellering was already on The Wyatt Sicks' radar

Even before tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW, The Wyatt Sicks had hinted that Paul Ellering was on their radar. This tease came from a cryptic post on the horror faction's official X account.

When fans decoded the message, they realized that Ellering was in danger. Being marked as a target could explain why Uncle Howdy attacked the retired professional wrestler.

#1. Uncle Howdy wants to initiate a feud against The Final Testament

A feud between The Wyatt Sicks and The Final Testament is something fans believe could be a win-win situation for both factions. With this attack on the Hall of Famer, it appears that Uncle Howdy wants to initiate a faction war against Karrion Kross’s group.

There were already hints that Kross was on the horror faction's radar, and this attack on RAW seems to confirm that. Now that Howdy has attacked Paul Ellering and applied the Mandible Claw on him, the villainous faction could seek vengeance.

This will likely kickstart an exciting faction feud between The Wyatt Sicks and The Final Testament on Monday Night RAW.
