Folks, just when you thought WWE Raw was all about dropkicks and body slams, along comes a QR code mystery that’s got everyone scratching their heads harder than a confused cat. During The New Day’s entrance for their big Triple Threat tag team match, the jumbotron did a bit more than just flash their flashy graphics—it gave us a real-life Easter egg hunt.
As Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods strutted their stuff down the ramp, the screen suddenly glitched like my old TV when you’d hit it on the side to get a better picture. But instead of static, we got a glimpse of a glyph that looked a lot like something from a high school astronomy quiz on Pluto, followed by a raven that seemed like it flew straight out of an Edgar Allan Poe poem. But wait—there’s more! A QR code popped up, beckoning everyone with a smartphone to dive down the rabbit hole—or should I say, raven’s nest?
Those who were quick on the draw with their camera phones were whisked away to a WWE-hosted URL, which turned into a digital treasure map leading to another mysterious webpage. There, you’d find an image that could be straight out of a spooky campfire story: a raven, a hand, a flame, and a shadowy figure looking like he’s pondering the meaning of life—or maybe just his next wrestling move.
The accompanying video was no less cryptic, sounding like a broken record from the past with phrases like “Time to wake up,” “Take my hand,” and “Things will be better.” It felt like a cross between a self-help tape and a lost episode of “The Twilight Zone.”
Now, the buzz backstage is that this might be the heralding of Uncle Howdy’s comeback, especially with all the talk swirling around since that eerie Wyatt documentary “Becoming Immortal” aired. And with hidden messages popping up like daisies lately, it seems WWE is setting the stage for something—or someone—big.
So, as we all tune in, phones at the ready, let’s see if WWE’s latest cryptic caper leads to the return of Uncle Howdy or just sends us on another wild goose chase. Either way, it’s sure to be a spectacle. Stay tuned, and keep those cameras ready—this mystery isn’t going to solve itself!
