Bo Dallas has clarified that he did not shoot Chad Gable in the head.
On the June 17th episode of Monday Night Raw, Uncle Howdy made his first WWE appearance since Bray Wyatt’s death. Portrayed by Bo Dallas, Howdy led a group of terrifying characters through a series of backstage assaults before making his way to the ring.
The camera panned to see what looked like the entire Raw crew unconscious backstage. This included Gable, who sat lifelessly with a hole in his head, blood dripping from it. Fans exclaimed that the Wyatt Sicks had shot him in the head, something that greatly amused Bo Dallas.
Bo Dallas spoke about this return in an interview with Collider. The former NXT Champion thought the whole thing was hilarious because of the reactions online. He called it “the funniest thing” how it all blew up after the fact.
However, he had to make it clear that they did not really shoot Chad Gable in the had. However, he loved seeing the reactions to such a dramatic moment.
“It was the funniest thing when they debuted—the reactions on the internet were when Chad Gable got ‘shot in the head,’. People online were like, ‘Did I just see Chad Gable get shot in the head?’ And we’re like, ‘No, we did not shoot Chad Gable in the head!’ The whole thing just blew up, and it was so funny seeing how everyone reacted to what was really just a dramatic sequence.”
Given the fact that Chad Gable has been actively wrestling on television ever since, that seems obvious.
