Tonight’s edition of SmackDown descended upon the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, for all the build-ups on the road to Clash of the Castle next week. Although it started with the infamous retirement angle from AJ Styles segment last week, the inevitable Uncle Howdy remains the cynosure of the show so far.

A fresh set of QR codes on SmackDown decoded:

Starting from a simple tease at the concluding part of ”Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal” documentary to bringing in a complete storm through a series of cryptic QR codes, eerie tweets, URLs, and so on, WWE made the Uncle Howdy return the most trending dynamic currently existing in the WWE realm, Continuing on the trend, a new set of codes popped up on the screen at the end of Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman’s segment. It took us to a new webpage that started with the dark force thanking unanimous bodies and blaming some at the same time. The phrase ‘who’s to blame’ mysteriously signified the sooner arrival of Uncle Howdy in the lore.

The show continues to be more intriguing as we advance. The enigmatic Bray Wyatt’s alter ego is, however, transcending the boundaries of the WWE Universe.

Is Uncle Howdy unwinding in a global musical concert before bringing off the massacre in the ring? 

Bray Wyatt has been gone under the dark forever, but the WWE Universe quite feels a taste of him through the rampant return teases of his real-life brother, Bo Dallas. With Triple H planning a unique tribute to the legacy of the fallen legend back around WrestleMania season, Uncle Howdy has become a camouflaged reality of the WWE Universe. The dozens of QR code allusions lured fans into believing he was just there, right around the corner.

But through the course of Backlash 2024, King and Queen of the Ring PLE, fans only got fobbed off. But the company again incorporated a different timeline into the lore to hang fire. The date, June 17th, has become the new focal point for a bunch of inquisitive fans. But meanwhile, it seems Uncle Howdy is already roaming freely in the outside world.

Among the hundreds of clues, a vogue figure has been teased as Howdy, a couple of times. To trigger it up further, fans at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Madrid recently spotted a similar mysterious figure, resembling the masked man. While the video stirred the internet quite a bit, the signature Howdy coat and hat were missing, something that led us to give it a second thought.

The rest is likely to unfold on the due date, with fans avidly longing for it. What’s your take on Uncle Howdy’s new QR code featured on SmackDown 7/06? Sound off in the comments.
