The teases about Uncle Howdy's return to WWE continued during the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown. For the first time, the commentators acknowledged the QR codes that had been appearing.

Below are the four takeaways from the cryptic video on SmackDown and what they could possibly mean.
#4. 36-year-old NXT star part of Wyatt 6?
Reports in recent weeks have indicated that Uncle Howdy would be returning with his faction of several WWE stars, forming Wyatt 6.
One of the names rumored to be part of the group is Joe Gacy, and this may turn out to be true. During this week's episode of SmackDown, when the QR code popped up, a blurry picture of a man in the background resembled the 36-year-old NXT star.
#3. The Bray Wyatt connection
When the QR code was scanned, it led to a web page with a cryptic video. An intriguing element was the number in the URL, '22423'.
Coincidentally, Bray Wyatt's last TV segment aired during an episode of WWE SmackDown on February 24, 2023. The segment is on YouTube with the title 'Can you keep a secret?'
In the segment, Uncle Howdy said, "I'm all for us." This could potentially mean Uncle Howdy returning to continue Bray Wyatt's vision.
#2. I AM POSSIBLE
Bray Wyatt's brother, Bo Dallas, is the man behind the Uncle Howdy mask. Although WWE had never confirmed this before, they are now fully indicating it.
In the cryptic video, a glitch showed '4.7.14' in the background. Coincidentally, on the April 7, 2014, episode of RAW, there was a Bo Dallas vignette where he delivered an inspirational promo about turning 'IMPOSSIBLE' into 'I'M POSSIBLE'.
This connection was further established when fans noticed that 'im possible' was also present in the source code of the webpage linked to the QR code.
#1. Shocking return at a major WWE event?
As mentioned earlier, the webpage linked to the QR code shown on SmackDown had the number '22423' in its URL.
Coincidentally, 22423 is also the postal code of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which just happens to be the venue for the upcoming WWE Premium Live Event, King and Queen of the Ring, set to take place on May 25.
It will be interesting to see if Uncle Howdy makes his presence felt in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
