The cryptic teases continue in build for what could potentially be a return for Bo Dallas and WWE had two different methods of such on SmackDown.
The one that was on air involved a sudden QR code appearing during Triple H\'s entrance, but another tease happened in between commercial breaks. There was a point in the middle of the show where the lights dim and a Billie Holiday-like song began to play.
This prompted fans to light up their phones and it even prompted a Bo Dallas chant afterwards.

What Is The Song That\'s Playing?
Although the singer sounds like Billie Holiday, it\'s actually a late artist by the name of Marti Amado and the song is called \"Nightbird.\" The lyrics certainly hearken to Wyatt Family allusions as you can read them below.

Bo Dallas was reportedly playing Uncle Howdy back during Bray Wyatt\'s return, but fans hadn\'t seen the younger Rotunda brother for years since he and Curtis Axel were members of the B-Team.
Someone who is an advocate for a Bo Dallas return under the \"Wyatt Universe\" is the brothers\' father, WWE Hall Of Famer Mike Rotunda. Speaking with Peter Rosenberg, Rotunda talked about the potential of his sons flourishing with those gimmicks.
\"Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family was one of my favorite gimmicks of all time. Both boys, I think they could have gotten a lot more mileage out of Bray Wyatt and the Wyatts, and also with Bo. Bo was the youngest NXT Champion they ever had. He was probably 18 or 19 years old. He caught the business quickly,\
