The opening segment of WWE SmackDown saw the anointment of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa in Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline 2.0. However, the party was cut short when Kevin Owens came to the ring. Despite trying to take down the entire Bloodline 2.0 all by himself, he was soon outnumbered. However, to his rescue came The Street Profits, with whom he hinted at a tag team in the making. While The Bloodline 2.0 retreated, Paul Heyman and Sikoa interacted backstage.
This interaction happened right before the show’s QR code was released. Backstage, we saw Sikoa yelling at Heyman, claiming he was supposed to turn the tag team match into a six-man tag team match. Fans were quick to spot the line of dialogue ahead of the code appearing.
Right after Heyman repeated what Sikoa said, “A 6 man, a lot better,” the QR code showed up on the screen. Fans were quick to point out the appearance of the code right after the use of the word six may hit at the Wyatt 6. Uncle Howdy is set to make his return with a group of 6 lost souls.

The current lineup of the Wyatt 6 could include Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, Alexa Bliss, Joe Gacy, and Dexter Lumis. The codes’ clues have hinted at the above names being involved in the group. Howdy even wrote letters for each member.

The timing of the code’s appearance on SmackDown right after Heyman mentioned the 6-man line seems to have confirmed that all members may debut together. Initially, it was suggested that either Howdy or one of his followers debut first, followed by the rest of the group. With all the clues pieced together, something big will take place on the RAW episode after Clash at the Castle: Scotland.
Could Paul Heyman be hinting at The Bloodline facing Uncle Howdy and Co.?

One fan theory that emerged following the segment was whether Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt 6 could target The Bloodline. Currently, they are the most dominant heels, and taking them out would be the ideal way to make a great first impression. Reigns has also had multiple run-ins with Bray Wyatt in the past. However, there is enough evidence to prove why this may not be the case.
The first and most important one is that June 17, the group’s debut date, is an episode of RAW and not SmackDown. Secondly, fans believe Howdy may target Jey Uso. While there is a possibility that Jey may reunite with his brother and cousin, leading to a partial Wyatt 6 vs. The OG Bloodline, it is left to be seen. Fans have theorized multiple scenarios regarding Howdy’s return and first feud. What are your thoughts on it? Tell us in the comments.
