Hold onto your QR scanners, WWE Universe! The mystery surrounding Bo Dallas’ new stable themed around the late, great Bray Wyatt is finally coming to a head. During Monday’s WWE Raw, eagle-eyed fans spotted a new QR code during Rey Mysterio’s entrance that confirmed the arrival date of this enigmatic faction. When scanned, the code leads to a countdown set to expire next Monday during the broadcast.
The broadcast teased fans with messages like “Your patience will be rewarded” and “Your impatience will be punished.” Because who doesn’t love a little psychological manipulation with their wrestling? The screen flashed between these cryptic phrases and the QR code, showing what appeared to be a shadowy figure that fans assume to be Uncle Howdy. When scanned, the code ominously displays “You refused salvation” and “The reckoning is inevitable” around the countdown timer.
The hype around this new stable has been building for weeks, with clues scattered like Easter eggs across WWE’s various platforms. Almost three weeks ago, a Twitch stream hinted at the exact date of the faction’s debut and its potential members. Letters addressed to “family members” included names like Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, and former Schism leader Joe Gacy. Rumors are swirling that Alexa Bliss might also be involved, as some fans reportedly spotted her backstage during a recent Raw episode.
The most recent QR code on WWE SmackDown led to a letter thanking fans, saying, “this is all because of you.” Last Monday’s code featured Firefly Funhouse puppets, poetry, and images from a journal that seemingly belongs to Uncle Howdy. After months of fans playing Sherlock Holmes with these QR codes, it looks like the wait is almost over—just in time for WWE’s Clash at the Castle premium live event. But knowing Bray Wyatt and Uncle Howdy, this could very well be just the beginning.
Get ready for next Monday, WWE fans. It’s going to be a wild ride.
