WWE has kept the mysteries coming with a new QR code that has left the fans wondering what\'s to come in the future.
The QR code appeared briefly during the entrance of the New Day during the April 15, 2024, edition of WWE Monday Night Raw. Upon being scanned, the code takes fans to a screen with incomplete letters and a red grid background. Put the two rows of incomplete letters together and you get a link that takes you to the following video.

The video includes the message \'Time to wake up, take my hand. Things will be better. Trust Me.\' This new video comes after \'glitches\' on both the April 8, edition of Raw and April 12, edition of SmackDown teased something big is coming.
Decoding the Video
This video also includes an image of a man seeing the shadow of a bird that is being cast on a wall by somebody behind them holding the actual bird in front of a flame. This is a reference to the philosopher Plato and his cave allegory to explain existence. Plato argued in his work Republic that man spends his time looking at the cave and while the shadows that appear on the wall are man\'s reality, they are not accurate representations of the real world and are merely a fraction of the actual reality.
The video also includes an image of a crow or raven, both of which are birds associated with darkness. Both birds are scavengers and are generally associated with dead bodies. A group of crows is called a \'murder\' while a group of ravens is an \'unkindness.\'
What\'s to Come?
Many believe these teases are building to the return of Uncle Howdy, previously played by Bo Dallas who has been under contract since 2022. WWE recently teased the return of Uncle Howdy following their Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal documentary.
WWE used QR codes and bizarre videos in 2022 in the run-up to Wyatt\'s return at that year\'s Extreme Rules event. The \'White Rabbit\' angle was praised by fans and pundits for its creativity and for WWE\'s willingness to use a much different format than what fans were used to for a returning Superstar.
Some have speculated that Uncle Howdy will not return alone, as there have been references to \'us\' in previous teases. Alexa Bliss, who was aligned with Bray Wyatt has been speculated by fans to be part of this angle. Erick Redbeard\'s recently signed contract that has kept him from competing on the indies has also led to the belief he could be involved.
