SUMMARY
- WWE has been teasing the return of Uncle Howdy for quite some time.
- During the recent episode of SmackDown, fans caught another hint about it.
Ahead of WrestleMania XL, WWE has been ushered into a new era in the leadership of Triple H. With Cody Rhodes becoming the face of the company, it is evident that people like the newer product and are filling arenas each week to see it unfold. Along with this new venture, WWE has been playing several glitches on TV which has several theories to decode.
In the May 10 SmackDown episode, WWE’s QR code mystery continue as hints kept pointing to a stable dedicated to Bray Wyatt. During the first-round Queen of the Ring tournament match between Nia Jax and Naomi, which was won by the irresistible force, a “glitch” with a QR code surfaced. Upon scanning the code, viewers are directed to a video that initially seems to be Triple H’s voiced WWE debut package.

After that, the tone of the video darkens as a message is presented alongside eerie visuals. “They put us in a cave together, told us to behold the glory. We watched in awe, consumed by their lies.”, stated the video. The video ended with the lines “Soon you will understand. The tears we shed watered our antipathy and blossomed a garden of revulsion. There is no safe space. Only my family.”
The idea that this will be a stable rather than an individual is further reinforced by the usage of the pronoun “we.” The verse referring to “the word of the red” is arguably the video’s most significant hint. The term “red” may be familiar to fans because, in 2014, Bray Wyatt referred to being red in promos.
WWE makes exciting changes to its intro amid Uncle Howdy’s return speculation
Fans were amazed to see the newest package from the QR Code regarding Uncle Howdy. As the package started with the signature WWE intro, it had some changes made during it making it more intriguing. The regular intro features CM Punk but he was replaced by an identical figure which instantly caught fan’s attention. Sister Abigale was in the place of The Second City Saint in the package produced for Uncle Howdy.

Another fan also pointed out a ring of thorns around Bianca Belair during the video package. “There are also thorns from Uncle Howdys hat around Bianca Belair”, said the user. It indicates that a huge faction is in store for the late Bray Wyatt and his ideas will be living on long after his demise.
All indications lead to a stable headed by Bray Wyatt’s character, Uncle Howdy. Around the same time that Howdy was removed from the show, Bray was taken off the air because of health problems that would sadly end his life in August 2023.
Various Glitches on SmackDown and RAW also indicate Uncle Howdy’s return to the WWE
After WrestleMania 40, WWE is resetting a lot of the deck, which might introduce a completely new plot.
Something intriguing happened during Bronson Reed‘s RAW promo following WrestleMania. There was an intentional glitch that showed up on the screen. Many also think that Alexa Bliss might be involved with Bo Dallas in these glitches and hints.

Production errors such as these are not random occurrences; rather, they are most likely planned as a part of the event, thus it looks like WWE is hinting at something. Unusual footage from a recent SmackDown show in Detroit, Michigan, seems to confirm the enigmatic hints regarding Bo Dallas’s possible comeback. Several messages and glitches are proving to be surprising for the fans.
While Marti Amado’s eerie song “Nightbird” was playing, the audience’s attention was drawn to a strange visual phenomenon. In another technical issue, Chelsea Green & Piper Niven faced off against Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill in a tag match. Despite its brief appearance, the message “You forgot about us” was visible to keen-eyed followers.
This is a truly fascinating situation given the possibility that WWE would use Bo Dallas once more and the fact that the documentary Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal ended with what appears to be a tease for Uncle Howdy’s comeback. Only time will tell that along with Bo Dallas, who all might be the other members of this creepy faction.
