NEW DELHI: Following the tragic passing of Bray Wyatt last year, rumours swirled regarding the continuation of his creative legacy, with speculation pointing towards his brother, Bo Dallas, stepping into the role of Uncle Howdy. After months of anticipation,
WWE has finally hinted at Uncle Howdy's return, teasing fans with glitches and QR codes across their programming.
The buildup has been intense, with cryptic clues fueling online speculation about Uncle Howdy's impending comeback. Recent rumors have honed in on a potential return date and venue, adding to the excitement surrounding this long-awaited revival.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the glitches and QR codes witnessed during WWE Backlash 2024 suggest a significant introduction at the upcoming King and Queen of the Ring event in
Saudi Arabia on May 25, 2024. Meltzer's report suggests that these coded messages hint at the emergence of the new Wyatt Family during this highly anticipated event.
Eagle-eyed fans decoded one such QR code, revealing the cryptic message 'V_XXV,' which corresponds to May 25, the date of the King & Queen of the Ring event in Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, this date also marks the birth of Bo Dallas, the man behind the Uncle Howdy persona, adding weight to the speculation surrounding his return.
The May 5, 2024 episode of SmackDown featured another intriguing QR Code, leading viewers to a video segment. The clip commenced with WWE's iconic introduction, "Then, Now, Forever," before transitioning to a mysterious message.
“They put us in the cave. Told us to behold the glory. We watched in awe. Consumed their lies. We were never the chosen ones. Left in the cave to rot. To be forgotten. But he set us free. Now we understand. We follow the prophecy. The words of the red. 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.”
As anticipation mounts and the pieces fall into place, WWE fans eagerly await the potential resurrection of Uncle Howdy at the King and Queen of the Ring event, poised to witness the next chapter in this captivating saga.
