Fans of WWE are being treated to an enigmatic promotional strategy featuring QR codes and glitchy visuals that seem to herald the comeback of Bo Dallas to WWE TV with the Uncle Howdy character.
The breadcrumbs of Uncle Howdy’s anticipated debut started to fall with the “Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal” documentary and reached a climax at WrestleMania 40. Since then, WWE programming has consistently teased with various glitches and QR codes.
Just last week, a new QR code took over WWE.com, directing enthusiasts to an old-school webpage design, displaying an updated image akin to those utilized in this QR campaign, tagged with a single word “Hello.”
This trend didn’t skip a beat and persisted during the exciting June 3rd episode of Monday Night RAW. Following a match between Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser, a QR code was spotted which, upon scanning, guided fans to an interface offering numerous paths to follow. The most prominent feature was a video containing snippets and cryptic messages alluding to Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Funhouse and wrapping up with glimpses of what is suspected to be Sister Abigail alongside a veiled figure.
The website also had a selection of both freshly-minted and existing enigmas shown in the campaign. Like its predecessor, the final link teased images of WWE RAW Talk’s Megan Morant and Sam Roberts blurred in the background with the intriguing words “See you tonight.”
These strategic teaser campaigns from WWE are successfully stirring excitement for what’s shaping up to be a gripping storyline that includes Uncle Howdy and his emerging faction. The WWE fanbase is on the edge of their seats, looking forward to further enigmatic hints and the formal reintroduction of Bo “Uncle Howdy” Dallas.
