The identity of Uncle Howdy confirmed ahead of tonight's WWE Raw

As was noted earlier via Fightful Select, Bo Dallas is scheduled to be at WWE Monday Night Raw tonight in Birmingham, Alabama.

Also as noted earlier, Alexa Bliss is advertised to appear and she will explain her actions towards Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair. The storylines have strongly hinted that she will be getting involved in the Bray Wyatt storyline.

PWInsider has confirmed that Dallas will be at the show tonight and they add that given the Bliss announcement, "This should confirm 100% that Dallas is playing the Uncle Howdy role."

Dallas' name has been rumored since the night of Wyatt's return at the Survivor Series pay-per-view. Bryan Alvarez was the first to report that Dallas was back with the company. Howdy has been showing up on SmackDown in recent weeks and this past Friday, he attacked Bray seemingly to try to spark a fire in him ahead of his Pitch Black match with LA Knight at the Royal Rumble.

Aside from Bliss' segment, the only thing advertised for tonight's show is that we will find out what is next for United States Champion Austin Theory. Raw airs at 8 pm eastern on the USA Network.
