Bo Dallas’ WWE return as Uncle Howdy could materialize soon with the intense QR code teases popping up almost every week on WWE programming. The strategic display of all the creepy music, hidden signs and symbols, and mysterious figures point to one thing- Uncle Howdy’s return. Fans haven’t sat around waiting for the code to unravel itself. They seem to have deciphered the new Wyatt 6 squad on Twitter from the latest code riddle. This breakthrough only came to light after a former Wyatt family member, Eric Rowan, recently re-signed a deal with WWE.

The WWE Universe now firmly believes that a new Wyatt family is on their way to take the WWE world to storm soon. Speculation suggests that the faction could debut as early as WWE Backlash this weekend. The saga of Wyatt’s family was something we never really got to see flourish fully. The deceased star had some grand plans for the stable. But in reality, only Uncle Howdy emerged from his shiny collection of toys to make his presence felt.

So the formation of Wyatt’s complete arsenal never came to fruition. However, WWE has reportedly amassed all the old close associates of Wyatt and some new faces to enhance the legacy of the departed superstar. Fans decoded the members of the supposed faction from the cryptic code, ‘UDENJ51A’. Expanding each letter in it: U for Uncle Howdy, E for Erick Rowan, D for Dexter Lumis, N for Nikki Cross, J for Joe Gacy, 5+1 is equal to 6 (Wyatt 6), and A for Alexa Bliss. So where was Erick Rowan all this while?

Rowan had been a prominent face standing alongside the other Wyatt troops but was let go of by the company in 2020 amidst the abrupt pandemic budget cuts. His last bout before he left was with Drew Mclntyre, who unleashed carnage to mark a memorable exit.

However, WWE planting Rowan back in the roster might be a significant move toward the iconic Wyatt family’s revival. This assumption sat well with the majority of the WWE buffs on the internet.

With Uncle Howdy and the recently signed Erick Rowan being the obvious one to be a part of the squad, netizens did some guesswork on deciding the other members of the supposed faction. Each one of them, including Alexa Bliss who was close to joining the unified force of Bo Dallas and Wyatt before his maternity leave, has somehow been innately connected to the late star.

Netizens lauded the user for deciphering the code and offering avenues of possibilities upon the group’s debut in WWE. Users wrote, “Bros cooking” and “It’s all coming together.”

These fans understood the reasoning behind the members’ selection because of the rich tapestry of traits that aligned with Bray Wyatt’s ideology and presentation. One fan wrote, “That’s a real possibility.” Another user echoed a similar sentiment and wrote, “Saw this the other day on Tik Tok. This makes a lot of sense.”

However, some rightly felt another massive star, Braun Strowman, was missing from the list. The Monster Among Man recently made his much anticipated WWE return on Raw. His rich history with Bray Wyatt made him a sure-shot candidate to join the new Wyatt faction. One user commented, “i like the guess but i think Braun. Strowman has to be in there somehow.”

Now, it will be interesting to see how WWE fleshes out the story during the Backlash PLE or afterward with the lack of magic that Bray Wyatt could have imbued in it. What’s your take on WWE fans decoding the mystery of the Wyatt 6 members ahead of the speculated WWE debut?
