The WWE Universe has been captivated by a mysterious storyline that has been unfolding since WrestleMania 40, with enigmatic QR codes appearing as screen glitches during WWE television programming.
For weeks, the mystery has intensified, hinting at a dark force approaching WWE. Recently, this force took over WWE’s ongoing Twitch stream, creating an eerie atmosphere across the landscape.
The May 17 edition of Friday Night SmackDown continued this trend, with another QR code flashing during the tag team bout between DIY and Legado Del Fantasma’s Angel and Berto.
When scanned, it led to a video filled with ominous symbols and an image of a young boy with Joker-like face paint. A voiceover looped saying, “He is nobody. He is all of us,” before concluding with, “Do you want to meet him?” The camera then zoomed towards the image, transitioning to a similar sketch seen during the Twitch takeover, ending with a final cryptic message.
Rumors have been swirling that these signs point towards the impending return of Uncle Howdy, potentially accompanied by a new faction of underutilized superstars. With this week’s message asking fans if they would like to see him, it appears that WWE is gearing up to unravel this intriguing mystery soon.
