Last QR Code Before WWE Raw Offers Final Wyatt 6 Clues At Clash At The Castle – Backstage Details On Wyatt Tribute Stable Expected To Debut Monday On Raw

As Sami Zayn made his entrance, the screen flickered, and the words “massacre” were accompanied by flashing Pluto signs. With just two days to go until the speculated debut date for the long-awaited Uncle Howdy stable, another QR code graced the screens of fans tuned into Clash at the Castle.

The QR code led to a few new clues left in the extensive Uncle Howdy crumb trail. One of the images was of a messy table, with reading materials and crude drawings strewn all over it. “Remember who you are” is scrawled in red on a sheet of loose leaf paper. Behind that, there is a drawing with a circle divided by a forward slash near the top, and phrases such as “when the circle was broken, they were let loose” are written in print surrounding it. In the back, there is a partially obscured book titled “Mis(diagnosis)”. There is a book open in the center shot, where somebody despairingly wondered if “he is me, or if that’s what he wants me to think”.

A second set of images were also found via the QR code. There are images of what fans are speculating to be Uncle Howdy, Nikki Cross, and Joe Gacy, the latter two being speculated members of the Uncle Howdy stable. The pictures are highly edited with glitch effects, and so definitive identification of their subjects is not possible.

These portrait shots are accompanied by broken text on a photo of a green and blue aura. When pieced together, the fragmented letters read “massacre 6 17 24”.

June 17 is the date of next week’s edition of “WWE Raw”, where Uncle Howdy’s faction are rumored to debut. As of writing, the current members of Uncle Howdy’s stable are rumored to include Cross, Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, and Bo Dallas as Uncle Howdy. May fans also believe that Alexa Bliss is slated to join the faction; this would be her first appearance on WWE programming after giving birth to her daughter in November 2023.

Backstage Details

Clash at the Castle is over, the last QR code tease has aired, and the wrestling world now awaits Monday night and the June 17 edition of “WWE Raw,” which is expected to see the debut of the long-teased Bray Wyatt tribute stable referred to by many fans as “Wyatt 6.” As the day approaches when at least some of the mysteries surrounding this shadowy group should be revealed, a new report from Fightful Select could provide a few of those answers ahead of time.

For one thing, Fightful confirms the expected stable membership of Taylor Rotunda (fka Bo Dallas), long-absent stars Nikki Cross and Dexter Lumis, and the recently re-hired Erick Rowan. Interestingly, there was no mention of either “WWE NXT” star Joe Gacy, who had previously been reported as being involved with the group, or Alexa Bliss, who fans have speculated could return from maternity leave as part of the act — though Fightful says there are “additional pieces that we haven’t quite confirmed.” Fightful says they were most recently told that Rotunda is set to reprise the “Uncle Howdy” character he portrayed during Wyatt’s final run with WWE, and there had been discussions of theming other performers around Firefly Funhouse characters Mercy the Buzzard, Huskus the Pig Boy, and the White Rabbit. The details of the specific characters and their visual appearance, however, aren’t widely known, though Fightful says the stable’s costumes have been a labor-intensive project.

WWE Raw QR Code Finally Confirms Arrival Date Of New Stable Themed Around Bray Wyatt

Bo Dallas’ new stable themed around the late Bray Wyatt, as well as his own Uncle Howdy character, seemingly has a confirmed arrival date to WWE, with a new QR code seen on “WWE Raw.” On Monday, during Rey Mysterio’s entrance, an image popped up on the broadcast, complete with the code for fans to scan to find more clues about the mysterious faction. When scanned, it leads to a countdown, which ends next Monday during the broadcast.

“Your patience will be rewarded,” the staticky onscreen image during the broadcast read, before flashing again to read, “Your impatience will be punished.” The image then flashes to the code, then very quickly shows what appears to be a figure, assumably Uncle Howdy. When the code is scanned, the phrases “You refused salvation” and “The reckoning is inevitable” surround the real-time countdown.

The biggest clues surrounding the stable came from a Twitch stream almost three weeks ago. Those clues seemed to potentially spell out the exact date of the faction’s debut, which fans also determined to be next Monday, as well as who would be involved. Letters written to various “family members” seen on the stream seemed to include the recently re-hired Erick Rowan of the original Wyatt Family, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, and former Schism leader Joe Gacy. Alexa Bliss’ involvement with the stable has not been confirmed, though some eagle-eyed fans thought they spotted her backstage during a recent “Raw.”

The most recent code on Friday’s episode of “WWE SmackDown” led to a letter thanking fans, telling them, “this is all because of you.” Last Monday, a code featured Firefly Funhouse puppets when scanned, as well as poetry and images from a journal that seemingly belong to Uncle Howdy. After months of fans scanning codes and deciphering clues to be shared and speculated about online, it seems like the fun and games could be coming to an end after WWE’s Clash at the Castle premium live event. Or, knowing Wyatt and Uncle Howdy, this could be just the beginning.

Latest Wyatt 6 QR Code Teaser Features Firefly Funhouse Puppets, WWE Raw Talk

Once again, an episode of WWE programming was interrupted by a QR code from Uncle Howdy, and this time, it promises to do so yet again later tonight. The familiar glitch flickered during the Sheamus/Ludwig Kaiser match, sending followers to a landing page at wwe.com/fleshofunifyeur (with that slug an anagram for “Firefly Fun House”), and all sorts of links, hidden or otherwise, to more and more mysterious content.

Of the straightforward links, the last one may prove most fruitful in the short term, with a link entitled, “interupption.jpg” showing a scrambled photo of “Raw Talk” hosts Sam Roberts and Megan Morant alone with the text “see you tonight.” Others include a video titled “Preparing for a Massacre” filled with instructions and ending with the familiar image of a veiled figure, a link to the “hacked” version of wwe.com with the “71enuj” slug in its URL hinting at a June 17 debut, poetry and images from a journal presumed to be Uncle Howdy’s, a rehash of one of the other landing pages from a previous episode, and a wav file that, when played backwards, says, “Cave will be no more. The end of all things. A massacre is coming. Run and hide. Run and hide. Run and hide.”

Some of the more obscure material included an “ad blocked” icon in the top right corner that, when clicked, brings up a gif advertisement for Ramblin’ Rabbit Bohemian Breakfast Spread, with “Yowie Wowie” positioned as a tag line along with “Available at finer retailers near you!” Additionally, there is hidden text at the bottom of the page, “vXT3gPef8zo,” which, when Googled, leads to a results page led by this YouTube clip of a “Gyre & Gimble Masterclass” episode called “Bringing a Puppet To Life.”

Sonya Deville Returns In WWE Raw Backstage Segment After 10-Month Injury Hiatus

WWE might have lost Rhea Ripley to the injury bug, but reinforcements for the women’s division arrived on “WWE Raw.” Rumors from Pro Wrestling Insider on Monday alluded to former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Sonya Deville being backstage. The rumors turned out to be true during Monday’s episode, and Deville was seen backstage propositioning Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark, introducing herself to the latter, with Baszler saying she wasn’t interested in what Deville had to say.

Deville tore her ACL in July 2023, in the midst of her tag title reign alongside Chelsea Green — she was replaced in the team by Piper Niven, who claimed one half of the championship without actually having won it. A late May/early June return would be about in line for the recovery time for an ACL tear. Deville has been a contracted WWE talent since 2015, but has never won a singles title in the promotion. Her former partner, Green, along with Niven, were recently drafted to “WWE SmackDown.”

Newest Wyatt-Themed WWE Raw QR Code Unlocks Ominous Survey, Cryptic Series Of Puzzles

Another episode of WWE programming, another QR code leading to a lengthy trail of clues all seemingly pointing toward Uncle Howdy and, now more than ever, other members of his new faction. As the Chad Gable vs. Sami Zayn match that opened Monday’s “WWE Raw” went to a commercial break, the code quickly flashed on-screen, alongside the newspaper clipping that we’ve seen before about the missing therapist with a byline attributed to “Wendy Lucho,” an anagram for Uncle Howdy. Scanning the code takes viewers to the URL wwe.com/ecgpramstor, and deducing that the slug is an anagram for spectrogram will come in handy later down the path. The page itself says, “hello,” and then begins a survey featuring the following series of yes or no questions:

“Can you ever truly be free?”

“Have you ever lost your way?”

“Did you find your way back?”

“Do you want to be better?”

“Do you know that I’m proud of you?”

“Is love unconditional?”

“Have they been set free?”

“Do you believe?”

“Do you want to meet them?”

Once the questions are through (if you answer them correctly, that is) the page renders the message “soon.” Below that are 10 clickable, blank boxes that lead to even more content and clues, including a cipher that, when cracked, states, “A puppet is free as long as he loves his strings,” and three separate audio files that, when run through a spectrogram, reveal a file named “ICU2” that just shows the word “hello,” another named “North_Star” that contains the familiar Bray Wyatt/Wyatt 6 upside down moth logo, and another named “WITNESS” that very clearly shows Uncle Howdy’s face.

WhatsApp, Glassboro, and the Allegory of the Cave

From there, the links in the boxes only get more intriguing, bizarre, and downright creepy. One goes to a newspaper article, positioned adjacent to the “Wendy Lucho” piece, titled “STUDY SEES NEGATIVE RESULTS.” The story refers to a “cruel and evil experiment” that actually look place in 1965, when Josie Laures and Antoine Senni set new records for time spent alone in a cave. The text of the story includes lines such as “I saved them,” “Give me a little more time,” and “I must give them the opportunity to repent. I hope, for their sake, they do.” It also features an image that appears to refer to Plato’s famous Allegory of the Cave.

Elswhere, a sheet of notebook paper with “LIAR LIAR” scratched out in red and black marker contains the words “WhatsApp 5.22” scrawled in the corner, likely suggesting another clue dropping Wednesday. There’s also a quick video showing the veiled visage of a mysterious female figure, source code that contains an anchor link to the word “DOOR” within an H1 tag, a piece of paper with the glyph for Pluto all over it, the coordinates 39.7100 N and 75.1192 W, which points to Glassboro, New Jersey, which happens to be the location of Rowan University — likely a not-so-subtle reference to rumored returning superstar and former Wyatt Family member, Erick Rowan — and a piece of paper with “WENDY LUCHO” written on it, along with tick marks in each letter, perhaps showing its author working out the anagram before attributing it to the byline in the newspaper article.

WWE Shop recently released two shirts that fit right in with this mysterious journey, with one labeled as “Cavebird 1” and the other as “Cavebird 2.”

Latest WWE Raw QR Code Leads To More Clues, Teases For Presumed Uncle Howdy Stable

The latest in a series of mysterious QR codes on WWE programming led followers down their most complex path to date, with a landing page and 20 images to sift through. The code itself led to wwe.com/121212, which mimicked the look of a basic index page with the slug “/DOOR/” up top and a list of .jpg files, numbered 01-20, each tagged with a unique, six-digit number as well as precise time stamps for each, all purportedly captured yesterday, 5/12/2024, between 12:37:54 and 2:22:42 PM (with no specific time zone indicated).

The series of images contained various visuals and messages, including:

“DO YOU WANT TO MEET THEM?”

“I SET THEM FREE.”

“I REMINDED HIM OF WHO HE WAS. I SHOWED HIM HIS LIES. NOW HE SHOWS ME HIS VISION. IT IS BEAUTIFUL.”

“I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.”

“THEY WERE TRAPPED. I SHOWED THEM HOW TO OPEN THE DOOR.”

“THEY WERE LEFT ALL ALONE. I OPENED THE DOOR. NOW THEY ARE NOT ALONE ANYMORE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?”

“CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?”

“IF YOU ASK WHAT YOU AREN’T SEEING THEN YOU AREN’T LOOKING”

“YOU DON’T SEE IT, DO YOU?”

“WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?”

“I AM ALL OF US.”

“DO YOU SEE? I AM ALREADY FREE.”

“How are you doing? I CRAWLED OUT OF THE CAVE. SO I COULD SET THEM FREE. What challenges are you facing? I’M AFRAID THEY WON’T UNDERSTAND. How do you feel? I FINALLY KNOW MY PURPOSE & SOON EVERYONE WILL SEE.”

A newspaper clipping featuring the story of a woman gone missing, written by WENDY LUCHO (an anagram for Uncle Howdy)

An undecipherable, shadowy image in the dark

Several thumb drives and floppy discs, one of which labeled as “5.16.24 4 PM WITCH”

Notably, the “WWE Raw” announce team acknowledged this week’s glitch, perhaps indicating that a reveal is coming sooner than later. With Howdy’s name hidden this time in plain sight, one would think that could certainly be the case.
