samdoes_reddit over on Ye Ol’ Hellhole™ put in some work and assembled a list of all of the Uncle Howdy teasers WWE has put out so far, copied below for those interested!
All the teasers that appear to be connected to Uncle Howdy that have appeared on WWE TV/Socials. Feel free to comment with anything I missed. Will hopefully continue to update.
April 11: WWE posts then deletes this:
April 12: Glitch appears during SmackDown that says “you forgot about us”
April 14: Another cryptic deleted tweet: “you forgot us?”
April 15: On Raw a QR code appears during The New Day’s entrance.
It leads to wwe.com/qrisme which contains the following two images:
The top image file is named concomitantium.jpg. Google Translate detected it as the latin word for concomitant: “something that accompanies or is collaterally connected with something else.” The bottom image’s file name is epikalypsi.jpg. Google Translate detected is the greek word for topping, but I tried translating it from latin and it returned “epicalypse,” which isn’t a real word, but seems like a play on the word apocalypse (speculation on my part).
The source code for this page has a hidden message: “knock and it shall be opened”
Overlaying the two images on the page reveals the url wwe.com/uednj51a which contains an image and a video.
People online have connected this image to Plato’s allegory of the cave. Its file name is PATIENCE_ItsAlmostTime.jpg.
The video looks like an old VHS recording, and it says the following:
TIME TO WAKE UP
TAKE MY HAND
THINGS WILL BE BETTER
TRUST ME
Their video also uses the same bird symbol that is in the above image, along with Pluto’s astrological symbol. Do with that info what you will–I’m not going to pretend I know anything about astrology.
The source code for this page has another hidden message: “An open door is a welcome that makes a stranger into a friend.”
April 19: Another QR code appears on SmackDown during Triple H’s entrance. This one leads to wwe.com/ysnsy51s which just has this image:
No idea what this is supposed to be. It looks like the silhouette of a head of some kind.
The file name for this is strabizo–47c610e3e7c872be6561bb243c69dd2f.jpg. Nothing came up when I typed strabizo into Google Translate, but when I tried translating it from Latin it came back as “I will squint.”
At the very top of the “head” of the silhouette is hidden text that says “ImNobody”
Clicking on that text leads to wwe.com/sol_rutilo which is another page with an image and video. So Rutilo translates from latin to “the sun is shining”
Looks like another reference to Plato’s allegory of the cave. The file name is liberandum.jpg, which translates from latin to “to be delivered.”
There’s a lot in the video. It’s in the same VHS aesthetic, and starts off with flashing images of what looks like an ultrasound and a newborn baby. It then reads:
I SET THEM FREE
OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY
I believe this is a reference to a biblical verse: “Out of the miry clay” appears in several translations of the book of Psalms:
I waited patiently for the LORD; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, and established by goings.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in the LORD
Psalms 40: 1-3
The video then flashes images of someone alone in a cave, two silhouettes standing in front of a giant eyeball, and more images of the crow and Pluto symbol. Interspersed through that is this text:
OPENED THEIR EYES
WHILE YOU DID NOTHING
The video ends with a pair of coordinates: 45.7455° N, 14.4674° E. These are the approximate coordinates for Cross Cave in Slovenia, named after the nearby Holy Cross Church.
There is another hidden message in the source code: “Thank you ArtificialEllis. The world needs to know.”
That’s everything that’s appeared on broadcasts, but fans have recorded videos of apparent teasers for the benefit of those in live attendance. You can check some of them out here:
