Uncle Howdy: All 5 WWE stars who were part of Bo Dallas' last match: Where are they now?

Bo Dallas, now known as Uncle Howdy, will officially make his in-ring return next week on WWE RAW against Chad Gable. Interestingly, most of the superstars he faced in his last match are no longer part of the Stamford-based promotion.

Fans last saw Bo Dallas in action on November 13, 2019, during a house show in Zurich, Switzerland, in a six-man tag team match. The now Uncle Howdy suffered a neck injury at the end of that year. He remained inactive for the rest of the year and his WWE release was announced in 2021. A lot has changed in the roster and the Stamford-based promotion in general.

The six-man tag team match featured Shorty G, the Lucha House Party taking on Bo Dallas, Dolph Ziggler, now known as Nic Nemeth, and Robert Roode. Interestingly, only one person, alongside Dallas, who remained a WWE Superstar. For this list, we will explore what happened to Uncle Howdy's last opponents.

As it turns out, the former Shorty G plays a big role in Uncle Howdy's story. Apart from Chad Gable betraying the Alpha Academy, he was also the last person Bo Dallas faced before exiting the company. However, it is not just his name that changed.

Most recently, Chad is no longer aligned with his longtime partner, Otis, nor is part of the Alpha Academy. After betraying Otis, Gable aligned with the Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile to form American Made. The 38-year-old star also had a chance to pursue the Intercontinental Championship, feuding with names such as Gunther and Sami Zayn.

Although Chad Gable is the only active superstar on this list to have featured in Bo Dallas' last WWE match, that does not mean he is the only one who remains signed with the company. Another star from Dallas' last match was Robert Roode, but he no longer competes inside the squared circle.

In September 2022, the former Bobby Roode was out of action after undergoing a procedure. Not long after his neck surgery, he became a match producer. Although already medically cleared, the former United States Champion said he is already content with his current role.

#2. & #1. The Lucha House Party went on different paths following their WWE release

The Lucha House Party was a trio composed of Kalisto, Lince Dorado, and Gran Metalik. However, those who competed against Bo Dallas were just Kalisto and Lince. In April 2021, the 37-year-old was released from his contract, while the remaining two members of the group were released in November of that same year.

Following his release, Kalisto appeared in AEW, Major League Wrestling (MLW), DDT Pro-Wrestling, and more. As for Dorado, he appeared in AEW, MLW, NJPW, TNA Wrestling, and more. He also spent some time as a coach in the Stamford-based promotion.
