Wrestling fans, grab your detective hats because the mystery deepens at WWE Backlash! During a picturesque interlude of Lyon, France, viewers were treated not just to scenic B-roll but to a cryptic QR code surprise. As Michael Cole serenaded us with details of the host city, this sneaky little square appeared, whisking away those quick on the draw to a WWE-hosted landing page named ‘porte ouverte’—French for “open door.”
What lies behind this ‘open door’? An eerie audio clip and a phone number that might sound familiar to the WWE faithful—888-280-3999. This is the same number that, back in 2022, gave us a chilling peek into Bray Wyatt’s (in-character) psychiatric revelations. This year, the stakes are higher, and the mystery, thicker. The distorted voice in the audio file teases with enigmatic phrases, hinting at a figure who “opens up his arms” and makes the lost feel found, adding a layer of intrigue with “He doesn’t change you. He reminds you.”
But there’s more! The phone number now serves up a fresh, yet disturbing message hinting at a newfound family—possibly a terrifying twist on the Wyatt Family. The voice speaks of “the ones that had gone missing,” claiming, “None of you cared… but I set them free. They are my family now, and we will do anything to protect our family.” This sinister message fuels rumors swirling around a potential new faction, possibly led by Howdy/Bo Dallas (Taylor Rotunda), alongside dark allies like Bray Wyatt, Alexa Bliss, and Erick Rowan.
Is this a prelude to a dramatic reveal? Could this be the resurrection of the Wyatt Family, or something even more foreboding? WWE’s narrative craftsmanship keeps fans on the edge of their seats, turning each viewer into a puzzle solver.
