The return of Uncle Howdy hasn’t been a myth anymore in recent months, with WWE highly teasing the sidelined enigmatic figure through a series of eccentric QR codes. The trend has become so engraved in our brains that it automatically directs us to the puzzle-solving mode whenever it airs on a new Raw or SmackDown event. In the same vein, last week’s edition of Raw also provided advanced QR code elements. It even contained the probable timeframe of Howdy’s arrival. But to our utmost surprise, that was not it.

There was a more intense hint looming in the dark that you might have missed.

Was the mysterious stranger present on the May 13th episode of Raw, by any chance, Uncle Howdy?

According to some attentive fans, a Bray Wyatt-like figure was present in the episode, watching everything sedately. Wyatt’s return to the Stamford-based company back in 2022 saw us bumping into the mysterious persona of Uncle Howdy. His segments with Wyatt triggered both extreme fascination and fear among the entire WWE fraternity. Although the significance of Uncle Howdy went beyond the Wyatt family, he found himself written off from TV with Windham Rotunda’s untimely death.

Now, after a period of lull, Triple H has decided to keep the legacy of the late star alive by bringing back his brother Bo Dallas in the same role. And all the recent teases eventually lead us to the complete manifestation of the decision. The latest development on Raw showcased some famous Wyatt-related cryptic messages through a series of picture files and a floppy disk containing a date. But those aren’t the only things to be bewildered about.

Rare fan footage that went viral showed an Uncle Howdy replica figure standing at the ringside with the same uncanny eyes and demeanor.

While we aren’t sure whether the baffling Raw figure does play into the ongoing program involving the faction or is just a random fan cosplaying his favorite WWE character, Uncle Howdy isn’t far away from the ring at all.

More than a month has passed since WWE introduced the QR code shenanigans and made it a norm. Through the air of WrestleMania, Backlash, the intense anticipation continued, making us question where the end was. While there’s still no clear word or hint on when Wyatt 6 might officially take over the WWE ring, Monday Night RAW on July 8, 2024, looks like a good option as they attacked Kane on the same date 11 years back.

However, they might even return sooner with a chunk of the fan force, believing they will involve themselves in the upcoming Saudi Arabian event and end up ambushing Jey Uso in his high-stake match against Gunther. We will need to keep a close eye to decipher the exact date of their appearances. What’s your take on Uncle Howdy’s rumored presence on Raw last week? Let us know in the comments.
