WWE has teased a big return with an eerily disturbing video that was shared during tonight's NXT Spring Breakin' Night 2 event.

For a while now, QR codes have been popping up on the screen during WWE's shows, seemingly hinting at the arrival of the mysterious Uncle Howdy. Fans have been patiently waiting for the final reveal for quite some time now.

On tonight's NXT Spring Breakin' Night 2 show, another QR code popped up on the screen. It took fans to a short clip showing a creepy image of an empty road leading to a mysterious house.

A message appeared on-screen during the final moments of the video, stating:

Sting in WWE once again? More details HERE

"THEY WERE BROKEN. I DIDN’T FIX THEM. I ACCEPTED THEM."

At the end of the clip, the words "THEY OPENED THE DOOR" flashed on the screen, followed by "WE CAN BE FAMILY." Many fans have been speculating that a new Wyatt Family is on its way to TV, and tonight's QR code hinted at the same.

Howdy's WWE run didn't last long, and the entity made several TV appearances during Bray Wyatt's final months. The fans are quite excited to see how the Uncle Howdy character returns after a lengthy absence.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
