The regular QR code glitch is testing the water last minute with some more minute information surrounding Uncle Howdy’s grand return right ahead of the King and Queen of The Ring PLE in Saudi Arabia. From a series of mystery quotes related to Howdy to a significant Twitch hack last week, Triple H did everything to pump up the Wyatt 6’s imminent debut in the ring for the last couple of months. On 5/24 WWE SmackDown, the stimulating game reached a saturation point, with every member being decoded from a series of specific hyperlinked words.
During the entrance for Austin Theory & Grayson Waller on the May 24th episode of WWE SmackDown, a new set of QR codes popped up on the screen. The code led the viewers to an archive website full of hyperlinked words, with each carrying a different image or video or simply another QR code. Diving deep into those clues, fans discovered some poems that represent various WWE superstars related to the late Bray Wyatt’s troop.
It did not take much time for social media to conclude that the play cards in the QR code were hinting towards Nikki Cross, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Alexa Bliss as the six members of the Bo Dallas’ new faction. Bliss’s characteristics in her Dark Gimmick era, her ability to scare people, and her 500+ days of long hiatus perfectly fit in the lines of a poem, leading many to believe she’s on her way to coming back as a part of Wyatt 6, eventually.

One of the images read, “The one was abandoned. Left for dead.” This might be an indication of Joe Gacy’s getting abandoned and begging for approval as part of The Schism. The band came to an end last year after the leader Gacy ended his affiliation with Ava stating, “No, Ava, all hope is gone. This wasn’t the right family for you. The Schism is dead. So go.”

Nikki Cross’s search for allies was shed light upon in another set of lines. Cross made it to the headlines a few years back for her strong friendship with Alexa Bliss, both on and off the camera. However, in 2020, Bliss attacked Nikki Cross on WWE RAW, officially ending their friendship.

Johnny Gargano’s disapproval of Dexter Lumis since NXT might be the concealed content of the lines mentioned in the tweet below.

Similarly, Eric Rowan seems to know his way back to the faction, as depicted in another poetic pointer.

Previously, Jey Uso’s triggering tweet sparked the rumor of him being the first one to face Uncle Howdy’s wrath upon his return. Some also believe that Bo Dallas’ faction will cost him the match against Gunther in Saudi Arabia tomorrow. However, the latest hint suggested something else.
Amidst the series of cryptic hyperlinked buttons from tonight’s QR code, one was a text labeled ‘The Prodigal Son.’ By clicking it, one could see a message suggesting that a dark force was aware of someone’s identity and was waiting for them on the other side. Quite understandably, fans took on the hint of who that prodigal son was. Is The American Nightmare’s match against Logan Paul at stake? Only time will show the rest.
