In recent weeks, several cryptic messages have appeared during WWE’s weekly shows. Some QR Codes have led fans and insiders in and around the company to think of an imminent return of some character in the ring of the Stamford company to change the balance.

And everything seems to be traced back to Uncle Howdy, a character already seen in the Bray Wyatt universe and played until last year by Bo Dallas, the younger brother of the late wrestler who passed away last summer. In the last few hours, new strange messages have appeared on the WWE Whatsapp channel, their Twitch had been hacked and tonight Howdy even took control of the King of the Ring. It seems like he has given a hint as to who his next opponent would be.

Uncle Howdy wishes to face the Nightmare

Today, WWE held the King and Queen of the Ring 2024 event in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. During the main event, Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul faced each other for the first time in a match for the Undisputed WWE Championship, in which Rhodes managed to retain the championship again. But it seems like there’s no break for the American Nightmare, as Uncle Howdy has set his sights on him.

During a segment where WWE commentator Michael Cole was talking about Rhodes, the name of the American Nightmare was overlapped by an eerie sound. And from the clip, it seems like it was none other than Cody Rhodes. But why did Howdy only speak over the name of the Universal Champion? Well, it seems like he has set his sights on defeating the current face of the WWE.

Thanks to this victory, Cody Rhodes makes his second successful defense since winning the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL. Logan Paul, on the other hand, fails again in his attempt to get the top gold, although again he showed great in-ring skills and gave an extremely entertaining fight. But now, Cody Rhodes will have to prepare for someone a lot more sinister and a lot more powerful than any other opponent he has faced in his career so far. What do you think? Did Uncle Howdy set his sights on the American Nightmare? And will Rhodes be able to face Howdy? Let us know in the comments.
